Anthony Doerr’s critically praised first collection of beautifully written tales transports readers to a wide range of locations, including the wet moors of Lapland, the pine woods of Montana, and the coast of Africa. Doerr depicts nature in all of its stunning wealth and terrifying force while delving into the human condition in all of its manifestations, including transformation, sorrow, broken relationships, and slowly healing hearts. All of his characters are bound together by their final devotion to the mysteries of the cosmos outside of themselves, even when some of them face extreme adversity and others find special abilities.
