A captivating, moving novel of survival, hope and redemption, THE BOOK OF FIRE is the blazing new book from the international bestselling author of THE BEEKEEPER OF ALEPPO and SONGBIRDS.

AMONG THE ASHES, ONE FAMILY FOUND HOPE . . .
In a tiny, beautiful Greek village, deep in an ancient forest, live a family - Irini, Tasso and their daughter, sweet Chara. One day their world is rocked when a forest fire consumes the village, leaving houses burned and lives irreparably damaged.
But what happens after the fire?
