📱 eBook en inglés THE OLD FIRE

A touching, mysterious novel, imbued with the beauty and strangeness of a fairy tale. Ayşegül Savaş

In the wake of her fathers death, Agathe leaves New York and returns to her childhood home in the French countryside, after fifteen years away. Agathe and her sister Véra have not seen each other in all that time apart. Now, they must empty their home before it is knocked down. Véra stopped speaking when she was six, and as the pair clean and sift through a lifetimes worth of belongings, old memories and resentments surface.

Tender, melancholic and evocative, The Old Fire is Elisa Shua Dusapins most personal and moving novel yet. An exploration of time and memory, of family and belonging, of the unsaid and the unanswered, it is also a graceful and profound exploration of how loss and grief can live alongside life and abundance.
