'an extraordinary science fiction novel' SFX MAGAZINE 'constantly surprising, moving and thought-provoking' GUARDIAN 'a must-read author' SFF WORLD 'perhaps the only writer today cooking up Le Guin's special sauce of liberation frustration and revolutionary blues' — LOCUS June 1941, Eastern Europe
As the German blitzkrieg tears across a divided continent, four young lives are thrown into chaos: Neriya, a young Jewish girl who dreams of becoming a scientist; Czesław, an underage Polish deserter fleeing the Red Army; Kezia, a Roma horse trader whose family is on the run from Soviet collectivisation; and a nameless,, abandoned boy who cannot speak.
Driven deep into the Lithuanian woods, they form an unbreakable bond with one another and with a flock of crows whose uncanny intelligence hints at a secret older and stranger than they could ever have imagined.
