Description
Laylee's world has been turned upside down by the arrival of two familiar strangers. On a frosty night, she struggles to remember happier times before her mother's death. Her father's grief has left him lost and alone, and Laylee is now the sole remaining mordeshoor in the village, destined to prepare the dead for the afterlife. As she navigates this dark and lonely existence, Laylee begins to rediscover color, magic, and the healing power of friendship. Lush and enchanting, Tahereh Mafi weaves together a new magical adventure that interrogates norms and relationships in our own world while never losing sight of her story. With its deliciously descriptive prose and memorable characters, this dark fantasy explores the restorative power of friendship in a world where death is an everyday reality.
