What others are saying
“This moving novel is not only the story of life-long friendship tested by political violence. It’s also a timely reminder of the Russian wars in Chechnya that, though largely forgotten in the West, are devastating precursors to our present crisis.”
Caroline Adderson,
Author of A Russian Sister
“Poignant and passionate, thrilling and troubling! All are encompassed in Goodings’ book which brings to life the challenges of conflicting loyalties to family, friends and country. It also provides a window into the struggles within Russia during the internal conflicts with Chechnya and how they impacted the heroines of this story.”
Mary Collins PC,
Former Member of Parliament and Cabinet Minister, and former advisor to who In Russia.Author of A Russian Sister
“Stewart Goodings has mined his considerable international experience in crafting this powerful and timely story. At times tense and wrenching, at others, warm and humane. My Friend, My Enemy is a page-turner brimming with passion and paradox and an uncanny resonance with today’s geopolitical landscape. Bravo!”
Terry Fallis, two-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour.
“My Friend, My Enemy deftly situates the brutalities of the Russian-Chechen conflict alongside the tendernesses of female friendship and love of family. It’s a compelling tale convincingly told and particularly enriched through insightful detailing of Russian and Chechen locations and customs.”
Des Kennedy, novelist and essayist, author of Beautiful Communions.
Goodings portraits of two ‘almost sisters, a Chechen and Russian, are compelling, heart rending and ultimately uplifting. The stories of Alla and Nadezhda offers readers a timely glimpse into life on the hard end of Russian imperial policy in the early 21st century. The writing is engaging, the story fascinating, and the characters, almost all women, vividly portrayed.“
Howard Stewart, author of Views of the Salish Sea: One Hundred and Fifty Years of Change around the Strait of Georgia
