The Songe of If (The Gift)

Beschreibung

A fairy tale for adults - an exploration of meaning in the burden of time, the possible in dreams, the lessons of silence, the clarity of love, and the miraculous in life. The Songe of If (The Gift) begins with a tale. It is a legend of a tree, planted by a priest who came to this land after his promised life failed him and he sought refuge and redemption by sharing his faith. Before his death, he planted a tree. But after centuries of deprivation and despair, the tree left its place, seeking a home and a chance for renewal. The home the tree finds is on a small farm. And with the tree at its center, the farm and the lives it contains begin a wondrous transformation. Told as fantasy and as fact, the story is a combination of fantasy, romance, and philosophical fiction, written in the tradition of the imagined, oral lore from a long-lost age in Southwest France.

Autor

Pierrick Euston is a writer based primarily in a small town on either side of the English Channel. After focusing his attentions at university in the fields of ornithology, the Avignon Papacy, and the sunflowers of Bordeaux, he began a prolific career writing short epic poetry. He began writing The Songe of If (The Gift) while finding brief and melancholic refuge on an isolated, French farm, his days unexpectedly brought alive by the solemnity of playful chickens, their predicament before him casting reflections of purpose and the certainty of fate. From the lessons they shared, this story was born. A tale of love, loss, time, and renewal, The Songe of If (The Gift) is the first novel written under Pierrick's given name. He is slowly working on the second volume titled The Songe of if (The Promise).
