Excited

My first printed copies of my novel "Why Didn't They Leave?" will arrive next week.
Why didn't they leave?
The publishing date is 28th September. Paperback and an e-book.

I have been asked to do some interviews, and I will appear on a BBC Radio 4 program https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b010...
It will be about emigration, but I am allowed to mention my book. It will be recorded soon, but probably won't be broadcasted till November. There will be a podcast, too. Fortunately it is not live so if I talk nonsense, they can re-record it! But I will try NOT to talk nonsense.

My book" Why Didn't They Leave?" is now available

Lots of places, Amazon UK, USA, Canada, WHSmith, Foyles etc etc.
The publishing is not till 28th September.
I was asked to come on the Four Thoughts program of BBC Radio 4, which was very exciting. It will be broadcast in the end of September.

I've been giving my author's copies out, and now I wonder if people will like it. I hope so!

beautiful blurbs from 3 writers to my publisher

Why didn't they leave?

My novel is being published on 28th September, but it is already available in the USA although you can only pre-order it in the UK.

These are 3 blurbs for my book by 3 writers.. who wrote wonderful books.
They are so kind! I hope other readers will like my book, too. Although some people already read it, it’s not possible to put an Amazon review till after 28th September,
All those kind words on social media are exciting.

—Julie Maloney, author and founder/director of Women Reading Aloud

With meticulous detail, heartwrenching scenes like “ . . . marching us from Auschwitz to Loslau,” sear onto the page.
From police informers to the “Velvet Revolution,” Hnizdo offers answers through her characters’ actions as to why some
chose to remain in their homeland and others fled. A story filled with history and heartache . . . survival and hope.”



Jacqueline Sheehan author
“Zuzana is haunted by the choices that her family made during the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia and later during the Communist regime. Her discoveries make for a compelling story of loyalty, love, and courage.”


Brigid Grauman author


Eva Hnizdo has turned her own story into a gripping work of fiction that follows a secular Czech Jewish family’s fortunes during World War Two through communism to a multi-cultural life in Britain. Her book says much about prejudice and tolerance, survivors’ guilt and the emotional challenges of motherhood, all through the voice of her extrovert and sexy heroine.

I am very excited

My book is number 7 in “Hot new releases Jewish fiction" on Amazon.co.uk. And it is really #5 because of the books placed in front of mine 3 spots are one book- Three Sisters by Heather Morris, in various formats. One is behind my book.
I KNOW it is only New Jewish fiction but still!
