Description

Deep in an ancient forest in present-day Greece, a family's lives are forever changed by a single, fateful day. Flames chase fleeing birds across the sky, igniting a wildfire that will consume their home and alter the course of their lives. In the aftermath, Irini discovers the body of the man who started the fire, a land speculator who had intended only a small, controlled burn. This discovery sets off a chain of events that will haunt Irini and her family for years to come. As the local police investigate the mysterious death, Tasso mourns the loss of his father, who has not been seen since before the fire. His hands were burnt in the flames, leaving him unable to paint, and he struggles to cope with the overwhelming loss of his artistic voice and his beloved forest. His young daughter, who wants to repair the damage that's been done, is the only one who gives him hope for the future. The fire has left a trail of destruction, but it has also revealed a deep sense of loss and longing. This powerful and moving novel explores the human cost of tragedy and the resilience of the human spirit.
