Three Shadows

About this book

Back then, life was simple and sweet. The taste of cherries, the cool shade, the smell of the river... That was how we lived, in a vale among the hills--sheltered from storms, ignorant of the world, as though on an island, peaceful and untroubled. And then... And then everything changed. Can you ever escape your fate? Three shadows stand outside the house--and Louis and Lise know why the spectral figures are there. The shadows have come for Louis and Lise's son, and nothing anyone can do will stop them. Louis cannot let his son die without trying to prevent it, so the family embarks on a journey to the ends of the earth, fleeing death. Poignant and suspenseful, Three Shadowsis a haunting story of love and grief, told in moving text and sweeping black and white artwork by Cyril Pedrosa.
