Description

The Invisible Library by Thorvald Steen is set in 323 BCE, during the final days of King Alexander's life. Suspicion falls on Phyllis, a cook for his army, who has been arrested and locked away. To avoid execution, she agrees to write down everything she knows about Alexander, revealing a brutal story of war, expansion, and passion. Phyllis' account interweaves known facts with speculation, building a narrative that explores the human experience in times of conflict, love, and mortality. This thought-provoking novel delves into the complexities of one of history's most renowned figures, shedding light on a lesser-known period in Alexander's life. A gripping and introspective tale, The Invisible Library is a story about the nature of identity, loyalty, and the power of human connection.
