DescriptionAlexandra Boyd has travelled to Bulgaria hoping to salve the wounds left by the loss of her beloved brother. But a luggage mix-up soon after she arrives finds her holding an urn filled with human ashes. Reviews'The Shadow Land is thrilling, and not just as a gripping tale. It’s also thrilling to watch such a talented writer cast her spell. The central character actually begins this deft novel in an urn, only to emerge as one of the most memorable characters I’ve encountered in a long time.'—Richard Russo, author of Everybody’s Fool 'In this brilliant work, what appears at first a minor mystery quickly becomes emblematic of a whole country's hidden history. Lyrical and compelling, The Shadow Land proves a profound meditation on how evil is inflicted, endured and, through courage and compassion, defeated. Elizabeth Kostova's third novel clearly establishes her as one of America's finest writers.' -- Ron Rash author of The Risen 'Transporting... draws us into Bulgarian history and character revelation like an elegant, mysterious labyrinth. Page-turning, evocative and richly imagined.' -- Dominic Smith 'Recommend[ed]...to readers seeking outstanding and suspenseful historical fiction.' --Booklist Author descriptionElizabeth Kostova is the New York Times bestselling author of The Historian, which sold over three million copies, and The Swan Thieves. |
