In his mesmerising first novel, the internationally celebrated
short-story writer Miroslav Penkov spins the intriguing tale of an
American student who returns to Bulgaria, the country he left as a
child. His mission is to track down his grandfather and to find out
why he suddenly cut off all contact with the family three years
before. The trail leads him to a remote village on the border with
Turkey, a stone's throw away from Greece, high up in the Strandja
Mountains - a place of pagan mysteries and black storks nesting in
giant oaks, a place where every spring, possessed by Christian
saints, men and women dance barefoot across live coals in search of
rebirth. Here in the mountains, he is drawn by his grandfather into
a maze of half-truths. And here, he falls in love with an
unobtainable Muslim girl. Old ghosts come back to life and
forgotten conflicts blaze anew, until the past finally yields up
its plangent secrets.
