Beschreibung
In a dazzling literary fantasy akin to the work of Nghi Vo and often compared to John Connolly's The Book of Lost Things, step into a world that parallels our own, during a war that parallels World War II, and be prepared to fall in love with this gorgeous and lyrical Realm Award-winning novel.

A young boy's serene summer day is shattered by the crash of a bullet-riddled enemy plane. Further disrupting the tranquility are the arrival of Grandmother's mysterious friend Mr. Girandole, and the discovery of a riddle in the sacred grove of ruins behind Grandmother's house. In a sumptuous idyllic setting and overshadowed by the threat of war, four unlikely allies learn the values of courage, sacrifice, and what it means to be a family.

This 10th anniversary edition of A Green and Ancient Light includes an introduction by the author and a conversation with the editor who helped launch Durbin's novel-writing career.
