ADAM HAMDY chats to Paul Burke about THE OTHER SIDE OF NIGHT, writing an original novel, the emotional journey you take the reader on, how characters convey meaning in a story, speculative thrillers, film and TV adaptation, page turning excitement and poetry.
The Other Side of Night: This is David Asha's story, and that of his son, his wife and also, his best friend.
You may think you know what this story is, but it is more, much more.
Its a story of love and loss, lies and suspicion, secrets and history.
A story about a loving family torn apart by tragedy, which leaves a child completely alone and the repercussions of actions which haunt the past and present.but also the future...
Adam Hamdy takes us on an exploration of love, sacrifice and endless possibilities.
