'Candles At Dawn' is a moving story of two families - one Australian and one Turkish - who are drawn together by the common bond of a past war.
Australian teenager Ellie and her mother travel to Turkey to attend the Dawn Ceremony at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli. The boarding house in which they stay is owned by a Turkish woman and her daughter Zeynep. A friendship develops between the girls, and when they discover that their grandfathers fought on opposite sides in this same war, they soon find that despite their differing national identities, they share the same human warmth.
In 'Candles At Dawn' we are drawn into the awful irony of war, as well as its horrors. The book explores the futility of enmity and we find ourselves left with the question, "So why do we fight each other?"
