Sylvia True

I have published one novel, THE WEDNESDAY GROUP, with St. Martin’s Press. I was born in Manchester, England. Both sides of my family fled from Nazi Germany. My mother’s family moved to Switzerland, and my father’s family ended up in England. My mother, who was a champion figure skater, met my father in Manchester, where he was a professor of theoretical physics. Later they moved with their children to Chicago, where I was raised.

A Worthy Life

Sabine stood in the vestibule and looked at the steel door that had a wire-mesh window. She knew that air was a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen and traces of other gases. She knew there was no molecule that made fear, yet fear was what she breathed on that cold, damp, November night.
