Description
Lanny is a book that doesn't come along very often - a magically beguiling work that thrums with rhythm and life. It's a story about a village, its people and its mysterious past, where the boundaries between the living and the dead are blurred. At its heart is a boy named Lanny, and his family, who are drawn into a world of wonder and unease. As the story unfolds, the village and its inhabitants are revealed to be part of a larger, more complex whole - one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. The result is a book that is both startling and moving, and which will stay with you long after you finish reading it. Max Porter's writing is a remarkable feat of literary virtuosity, and Lanny is a testament to his skill as a storyteller. This is a book that will leave you feeling deeply affected, and one that will stay with you for a long time.
