The Book of Fire by Christy Lefteri is a heart wrenching story about a family searching for the true meaning of home in the aftermath of a disaster that changes their lives forever. Irini, a musician, teaches children to read and play music whilst her husband Tasso is a wonderful artist.
One fateful days forever sees the trajectory of their lives changing after a wildfire consumes their home and lives. In the aftermath, Irini stumbles upon the man who started the fire, but he is dead. What happens next will haunt Irini for the rest of her life.
I believe this story is beautifully written, exploring descriptive tones and painting vivid pictures of modern day Greece, family tragedy and the resilience of the family when faced with grief. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone, and Christy Lefteri's other books are just as thought provoking.
