The book itself is magic, and that magic is felt in every single page. It is one of those slow, deliberate reads that has an easy flow and kind of sucks you under. This book was sent by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.Ī Green and Ancient Light was pretty much the book I really needed to read right now. In a sumptuous idyllic setting and overshadowed by the threat of war, four unlikely allies learn the values of courage and sacrifice. Girandole-a man who knows the true story of Cinderella’s slipper-and the discovery of a riddle in the sacred grove of ruins behind grandmother’s house. Their tranquility is shattered by the crash of a bullet-riddled enemy plane, the arrival of grandmother’s friend Mr. Set in a world similar to our own, during a war that parallels World War II, A Green and Ancient Light is the stunning story of a boy who is sent to stay with his grandmother for the summer in a serene fishing village. A gorgeous fantasy in the spirit of Pan’s Labyrinth and John Connolly’s The Book of Lost Things.
