Samia Muqueem, author of "Visions of the soul"
The Distance Between Us, by Author Sarah Playle is not just an ordinary work of fiction but is an extraordinarily powerful, beautifully crafted novel. Her characters, her sense of place, her ability to create tention and resolution is deeply powerful, perhaps made more so by her disciplined, controlled writing style that allows for more - no less to make her point. It was a book I hated to finish and when I finally did - it left me with a desire for wanting more in the end. Read it. You'll never forget it
Lillian Brummet, author of "Trash Talk"
What can I say about a writer that leaves me in awe of her talent and crying my heart out at the end. This book moved me in so many ways. I fully identified with each of the four main characters and just loved the way Sarah Playle walks the reader into this unique and emotional story line. If you are looking for a book that you can curl up and disappear into for a few days, this one is for you!"
