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 while Tasso and Chara struggle to find the courage to bear what has happened, Irini is tormented by guilt for her part in the fate of the man who started the fire . . .

A captivating, moving novel of survival, hope and redemption, as epic as it is intimate, and set against the tormented landscape of our changing world, THE BOOK OF FIRE is the blazing new book from the international bestselling author of THE BEEKEEPER OF ALEPPO and SONGBIRDS.
