Overview

During the longest war humankind has endured, two young Spanish officers abandon their post to follow the charismatic Petrus across a bridge only he can see. In a place of lingering mists, poetry, music and natural wonders, the fate of our world and its living creatures will be decided. Yet this world too is under threat. Will harmony and beauty prevail over darkness and death? An ode to the power of the imagination, the sequel to The Life of Elves echoes our own global border disputes and climate disaster. A Strange Country, by the author of The Elegance of the Hedgehog, is a literary fantasy for fans of Kazuo Ishiguro, Margaret Atwood and David Mitchell.

Reviews

'Barbery revels in the lavishing of detail...in its many moments of weird lucidity it also beguiles. It's then that Barbery explores the mystical connections between nature, art and the human heart with vividness and clarity.' * New York Times on The Life of Elves * 'Muriel Barbery allows us to reconnect with our share of dreams, of poetry. To enter her world is to experience true enchantment.' * Madame Figaro * 'A homage to the power of story...A tour de force with many inspired and delightful touches...Irresistible.' * Australian on The Life of Elves * 'A remarkable adventure and a philosophical novel, A Strange Country sings the praises of imagination and inventiveness.' * La Grande Librairie *
