Blog Tour - The Watcher Today I'm pleased to take part in the blog tour for the new book by Monika Jephcott Thomas entitled - The Watcher The Blurb: It’s 1949 when Netta’s father Max is released from a Siberian POW camp and returns to his home in occupied Germany. But he is not the man the little girl is expecting – the brave, handsome doctor her mother Erika told her stories of.  Erika too struggles to reconcile this withdrawn, volatile figure with the husband she knew and loved before, and, as she strives to break through the wall Max has built around himself.
