eBook Cover Design Brief
Looking for a series of ebook covers for family saga series covering 1925 to 1975. This one first (1935-39).
Wanting something that is NOT schmaltzy! I checked a few covers on Amazon and attached some that attracted me. Funnily enough, when I put them up I realised they had one common element - the model faces to the side or away. So, let's start there! I love the colours of Monsoon Summer - in fact I think I would put that one and The Secret Life... at the top of my favourites list.
The setting for the book is the north island of New Zealand and the period covered is 1935 to 1939. So pre-WW2. NZ scenery if used would be hills and ocean. No mountains, rivers or lakes. Main female character is 29 years old, and a mother of a 6-year-old. Married to a much older, unemotional husband, life is passing her by. This character is blonde, and that is mentioned a number of times. She learns to drive the farm truck, so a vehicle of that type might be okay. Eventually, she leaves the farm and heads to the city on a train. Last image attached would work as right period, on a train, and the model is looking thoughtful enough. Not sure if it can be used though as more permissions are needed by the website.
Book Title: No Place In Eden
Sub Title: A novel
Author's Name: Hilary Murray
Blurb:
Isolated in the rolling hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean with an older husband, two grown-up stepsons, and 6-year-old Ella, Olympia Steiner’s existence is lonely and unexciting. Unlike that of her friend, Ruby. Glamorous and confident, and with a successful marriage as well, every November Ruby arrives with gifts and gossip from the city.
But in the autumn of 1936 everything changes. A terrible accident leaves Mr Steiner bedridden and withdrawn, and with his eldest son planning to take over and expand the family business tensions are rife and feelings run high.
Then, out of the blue, Olympia is swept off her feet. And by the one man she can’t have. Will she remain true to her marriage vows? Or sacrifice everything for her one chance at love?
Following on from Ruby and Lilith, and moving from New Zealand to London in the years leading up to WW2, this is a story of hidden truths and a forbidden love. If you liked Ruby and Lilith, you will love No Place In Eden!
