The Secrets of a Fire King, Kim Edwards
Paperback, Penquin Books, Autographed, 270 Pages
The first story collection from the author of the #1 "New York Times" bestseller "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" which was a book that touched hearts across the nation. In this volume is her first collection of stories where she explores the lives of those who exist on the fringes of society: a fire-eater, an American and his Korean war bride, Madame Curie's maid, and others. Though their tales vary dramatically, each comes up against the barriers of place and circumstance in the most universal of experiences: the quest to discover and understand the elusive mysteries of love. Transporting readers to exotic locations, this beautiful collection reinforces Edwards's presence as an extraordinarily gifted writer.
Published in 2007 by Penquin Book, this paperback has 270 pages and is recommended for age 18 and up. |
