Beskrivelse
A gripping new novel from Christy Lefteri, author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo, The Book of Fire tells the story of a family shattered by disaster and their journey towards healing. Set against the devastating forest fires in Greece, it explores loss, guilt, and the power of renewal.
A poignant tale of trauma, survival, and hope amidst the ravages of wildfire.
In a small Greek village, a family made up of Irini, Tasso, and their daughter Chara-whose name means joy-live a peaceful life that is suddenly destroyed in a single day. A fire, started by one man driven by greed and indifference, sweeps through the village, claiming lives, destroying homes, and devastating the natural landscape.
Chara is left with deep scars covering her back and arms, while Tasso is paralyzed by trauma and guilt for not being there when his family needed him most. Irini struggles with her own feelings of guilt over her connection to the man who ignited the blaze, who may now be dead.
Despite the destruction, this family endures. Slowly, amidst the ashes and sorrow, new hope begins to emerge. Christy Lefteri weaves a story that is both intimate and expansive, capturing the profound impact of human mistakes while highlighting the resilience and capacity for redemption that follow.
