• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

You're seventeen, and of age now, and therefore old enough to understand what I'm going to tell you,' my father said. 'This place doesn't exist. This spring dried a long time ago. So the stories tell, and so believe even those who know other stories of a spring in the fell that once provided water for the whole village. Remember. This spring doesn't exist.'

'I'll remember,' I told him, but didn't realise until later what kind of a promise I had made.'

With the lyricism of Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, and the world building brilliance of Atwood, Emmi Itaranta's effortless and poignant debut novel is a coming of age story full of emotional drama and wonderment.
