"In his new
novel, An Oath of Vengeance, Harold Bergsma weaves a literary
web which snares genre-junkies, mystery-lovers and hopeless
romantics. Like its prequel One Way “to Pakistan, this novel is
rich with insights to the cultures of Bergsma’s youth in the
Punjab of Pakistan and India. Through the tales of American AID
mission-workers, corrupt Pakistani bureaucrats, captive women
imprisoned behind high walls and rigid religious idealists of
Pakistan, Bergsma delivers an elaborate understanding of the
Pathan code, Zar, Zan, Zamin, the components of honor in this
Islamic culture—a culture which is set to have a profound impact
on Americans in this century. While the first pages crawl
through the eccentricity of a foreign land while revealing
Bergsma’s love and passion for his childhood homeland, the last
three quarters of this novel force the reader into page-turning.
This novel’s erratic plotline and scandalously intriguing
characters will leave readers yearning for book three to hit the
shelves.” Available in both: Softcover and Hardcover edition |

"Harold Bergsma takes us behind the headlines to a world where Muslims and Christians are all too human. Using powerful images of three abductions, he weaves a tale which is engaging and passionately written and causes us to care deeply about his characters and fates. Fascinating, thought-provoking and sympathetic, this novel is an important contribution to both global and multicultural understanding." -Elaine Jarchow, Ph.D., Dean, Author: Preparing to Teach Global Perspectives Available in: Softcover edition or Hardcover edition |
