Description

Stork Mountain is a mesmerising first novel by internationally celebrated short-story writer Miroslav Penkov. When an American student returns to his childhood home in Bulgaria, he sets out to track down his grandfather and uncover the reason for their sudden estrangement three years earlier.

The journey takes him to a remote village on the border with Turkey, nestled high up in the Strandja Mountains. It is here that he becomes embroiled in a complex web of half-truths and family secrets, as well as falling deeply in love with an unattainable Muslim girl. As old ghosts resurface and long-forgotten conflicts blaze anew, the past finally yields its plangent secrets.
