Description

The Blue Fox by Sjón A spellbinding fable about transformation and connection, set against the stark Icelandic landscape. Reverend Baldur Skuggason's quest to hunt an elusive blue vixen becomes a journey of self-discovery, as he uncovers the secrets of a young woman with Down's Syndrome who was buried in his parish. As the ice begins to melt, the mystery surrounding their fates is unravelled, revealing a tale of metamorphosis and the power of human connection. With brilliant, precise colour and detail, Sjón describes a world that is both comic and lyrical. This enchanting novel weaves together themes of identity, community, and the natural world, creating a magical and unforgettable reading experience.
