"The exotic detail of Egypt truly brings the reader
right into the homes located thousands of miles away. A story well
worth reading." -- Coffee Time Romance
"THE YEARS OF SILENCE
captivates you from the start with its tragic loss and history of
violence. Marwa Ayad is a promising new author that writes with
humility and honor. I highly recommend this novel to readers of
all genres, and for any ages." -- Long and Short Reviews (5 out of 5
book rating)
"The Years of Silence is contemporary romance at its best..." -- Thomma Lyn Grindstaff, author of Mirror Blue
"A
poignant and moving debut book. I love Marwa's voice, the novel is so
beautifully told." -- Kim Michele Richardson, author of The Unbreakable
Child
"This is writing at its very best. This is definitely a
romance book everyone should pick up and read. It would be quite
reasonable to say that Marwa Ayad is Egypt’s Danielle Steele." -- Amr
Shehata, author of G.O.D.'s Delusion (scheduled soon for release)
"They say when you can't tell if a story is fact or fiction, the
author's done a good job. This is a beautiful story-it's well written.
I
would definitely read more books from this author. I would enjoy
watching her grow and sharing more of herself. Thanks for your work."
-- Danielle Thorne, American author and poet
