SUMMARY:Elizabeth Kostova
DESCRIPTION:From the #1 bestselling author of The Historian comes The Shadow Land\, an engrossing novel that spans the past and the present and unearths the dark secrets of Bulgaria\, a beautiful and haunted country. \nA young American woman\, Alexandra Boyd\, has traveled to Sofia\, Bulgaria\, hoping that life abroad will salve the wounds left by the loss of her beloved brother. Soon after arriving in this elegant East European city\, however\, she helps an elderly couple into a taxi and realizes too late that she has accidentally kept one of their bags. Inside she finds an ornately carved wooden box engraved with a name: Stoyan Lazarov. Raising the hinged lid\, she discovers that she is holding an urn filled with human ashes. \nAs Alexandra sets out to locate the family and return this precious item\, she will first have to uncover the secrets of a talented musician who was shattered by oppression and she will find out all too quickly that this knowledge is fraught with its own danger. \nElizabeth Kostova’s new novel is a tale of immense scope that delves into the horrors of a century and traverses the culture and landscape of this mysterious country. Suspenseful and beautifully written\, it explores the power of stories\, the pull of the past\, and the hope and meaning that can sometimes be found in the aftermath of loss. \nElizabeth Kostova is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Historian\, for which she won the 2006 Book Sense Award for Best Adult Fiction and the 2005 Quill Award for Debut Author of the Year\, and The Swan Thieves. She graduated from Yale and holds an MFA from the University of Michigan\, where she won the Hopwood Award for Novel-in-Progress.
