The Woman Behind the Waterfall

Autor Leonora Meriel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – sep 2023
Magic and transformation in the beauty of a Ukrainian village For seven-year-old Angela, happiness is exploring the verdant countryside around her home in western Ukraine. Her imagination carries her into the spirits of passing birds, into the breath of the wind, into the leaves of her springtime garden. Everything changes when, one morning, she spies her mother crying. As she tries to find out what lies behind the sadness, she is drawn on an extraordinary journey into the secrets of her family, and her parent's fateful choices. Can Angela lead her mother back to happiness before her innocence is destroyed by the shadows of a dark past? Beautiful, poetic and richly sensory, this is a tale that will haunt and lift its readers. "A strange and beautiful novel" - Esther Freud, author of Mr Mac and Me, Hideous Kinky, Peeless Flats "Readers looking for a classic tale of love and loss will be rewarded with an intoxicating world" - Kirkus Reviews "Rich and poetic in detail, it is an often dreamy, oneiric narrative rooted in an exaltation of nature... A lovely novel" - IndieReader "A literary work of art" - Richmond Magazine

Notă biografică

Leonora Meriel grew up in London, UK, but draws much of her inspiration from her years living in Ukraine, where she founded and managed Ukraine's largest bookshop, now a worldwide leader in promoting Ukrainian literature, language and culture. Her debut novel, THE WOMAN BEHIND THE WATERFALL, is set in western Ukraine and is a celebration of Ukrainian culture, language and custom. Her novel AND BREATHE centres on a Ukrainian oligarch and her latest novel MBAQUANGA NIGHTS explores Ukrainian immigration at the turn of the nineteenth century. Her work has been hailed as "strange and beautiful" by writer Esther Freud, "ambitious and thought-provoking" by Kirkus Reviews, and "a literary work of art" by Richmond Magazine.
