The Shadow Land- Pub Date 11 Apr 2017
From the #1 bestselling author of The Historian comes an
engrossing novel that spans the past and the present—and unearths the dark
secrets of Bulgaria, a beautiful and haunted country.
A young American
woman, Alexandra Boyd, has traveled to Sofia, Bulgaria, hoping that life abroad
will salve the wounds left by the loss of her beloved brother. Soon after
arriving in this elegant East European city, however, she helps an elderly
couple into a taxi—and realizes too late that she has accidentally kept one of
their bags. Inside she finds an ornately carved wooden box engraved with a
name: Stoyan Lazarov. Raising the hinged lid, she discovers that she is holding
an urn filled with human ashes
.
As Alexandra sets out
to locate the family and return this precious item, she will first have to
uncover the secrets of a talented musician who was shattered by oppression—and
she will find out all too quickly that this knowledge is fraught with its own danger.
Kostova’s new novel is a tale of immense scope that delves
into the horrors of a century and traverses the culture and landscape of this
mysterious country. Suspenseful and beautifully written, it explores the power
of stories, the pull of the past, and the hope and meaning that can sometimes
be found in the aftermath of loss.
