On the fateful day that will forever alter the trajectory of their lives, flames chase fleeing birds across the sky. The wildfire that will consume their home, and their lives as they know it, races toward them. In the smoldering aftermath, Irini stumbles upon the body of the man who started the fire, a land speculator who had intended only a small, controlled burn to clear forestland to build on and instead ignited a catastrophe. He is dead, although the cause is unclear, and in her anger at all he took from them, Irini makes a split-second decision that will haunt her. As the local police investigate the mysterious death, Tasso mourns 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. Only his young daughter, who wants to repair the damage that's been done, gives him hope for the future. Gorgeously written, sweeping in scope and intimate in tone, The Book of Fire is a masterful work about the search for meaning in the wake of tragedy, as well as the universal ties that bind people to each other, and to the land that they call home" --|cProvided by publisher. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York|cRandom House Publishing Group|d2024|nAvailable via World Wide Web. 655 0 Electronic books. 655 7 Novels.|2lcgft 710 2 OverDrive, Inc.,|edistributor. 776 08 |iOnline version:|aLefteri, Christy, 1980-|tBook of fire |bFirst edition.|dNew York : Ballantine Books, 2024 |z9780593497289|w(DLC) 2023032418 856 40 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby|uhttps:// naperville.overdrive.com/media/9771660
