Description
A simple tale of village life turns into a story of suspense. Rock Crystal is a novella that explores what can be found between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, or on any night of the year. Two children set out from their village to visit their grandparents in the neighboring valley. The weather is mild, but they are warned not to linger. As night falls, snow begins to fall, and despite the warnings, they press on. A wrong turn takes them deeper into the snow, until they find themselves on a glacier, surrounded by the beauty and terror of the void. Beautifully translated from the original German, this enigmatic tale is a moving and memorable Christmas story that will leave you pondering its themes long after finishing the book.
