Requests:  1 Summary:  "In present-day Greece, deep in an ancient forest, lives a family: Irini, a musician, who teaches children to read and play music; her husband, Tasso, who paints pictures of the forest, his greatest muse; and Chara, their young daughter, whose name means joy. 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"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Lefteri Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Lefteri Checked out 06/25/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Lefteri Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Lefteri Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Lefteri Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Fiction Lefteri Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Fiction Lefteri Checked out 06/27/2024 Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Fiction Lefteri Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Lefteri Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Bookmobile Floating Collection Lefteri Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
