Shadows over the Sun

Giselle J. Robin was born in 1935 and grew up in the second world war in Hamburg/Germany. After highschool Giselle was accepted as one of the first ten women for a public service career, where she attended the college for public service administration and managed large government projects successfully. In 1964 Giselle emigrated with her Hungarian husband, Gabor Berenyi, to South Australia, where they founded the first organic winery in Australia. Gabor was the winemaker and Giselle the manager. They became a family in 1970 by adopting their son Robert. Their marriage gradually deteriorated. Giselle left the winery after their divorce without money in 1976 and started another Life with a new partner. He was killed in a tractor accident a year later. Through these episodes of lost dreams Giselle had to deal with the onset of bipolar disorder, which led to many challenges, but in spite of that, she was four times self employed: in the winery, with a gift shop, with a plant nursery in Peterborough, South Australia and as a self publisher. She won the 'Pinnacle Book Achievement Award for 2017' from NABE in the USA for 'Shadows over the Sun'.
