Torn Award-winning by David Massey (author)

Afghanistan. In the heat and dust, young British army medic Elinor Nielson watches an Afghan girl walk into a hail of bullets. But when she runs to help, Ellie finds her gone. Who is she? And where? The answer will shake Ellie’s whole world, questioning everything she believes in – even her feelings for the American lieutenant who takes her side. A powerful contemporary novel set in war-torn Afghanistan, written by a former emergency supplies consultant to the Metropolitan Police and the Counter Terrorist Unit. At once a war thriller and a love story with a hint of the supernatural, it explores the human cost of war, from the young soldiers in the line of fire to the displaced children whose lives have been turned upside down.
