You will need to hold on tight as you are thrown from one seemingly unconnected story to another on an ocean made of honey.
Name: ‘The Starless Sea’ by Erin Morgenstern
Publisher: Penguin RandomHouse
Stories within fables, within legends, within rumours, circling back and interweaving themselves in and outside of time.
This is a masterpiece of illusion, with a story about stories that live and breath.
But it’s not all smooth sailing for both her characters and her readers.
You will need to hold on tight as you are thrown from one seemingly unconnected story to another on an ocean made of honey.
In the midst of it all is Zachary Ezra Rawlins, who stumbles across a mysterious library book containing details from his own life.
It leads him on quest unlike any other.
In a hidden magical world full of bees, keys, swords and secrets, the sheer scope of her creation may leave you blinking in the headlights, dazed and confused.
Morgenstern is also the author of The Night Circus, a bestseller that has been translated into thirty-seven languages.
