Description
Fairytale and history intertwine in this magical novel from Robert Dinsdale. In Belarus, an orphaned boy embarks on a journey to scatter his mother's ashes, accompanied by the promise of protection from his grandfather. Along the way, he sustains himself with gingerbread and is regaled with tales that transport him to a harsh yet fantastical world. As they venture deeper into the forest, the boy begins to uncover the long-buried secrets hidden beneath the driving snow. His grandfather's stories gradually give way to terrible truths about times past, forcing the young boy to confront the realities of his world. This haunting tale explores the lengths a child must go to survive in a harsh environment. A beautifully crafted story that weaves together elements of fairytale and history, this novel is a compelling read for those who enjoy magical and atmospheric fiction.
