Discover this beautiful winter gem of a novella that makes the perfect stocking filler this Christmas.'I may have been gone a long time,but I'm no stranger...' Manfred walks alone through a snowy valley,surrounded by his memories,on a pilgrimage of sorts to his childhood home. He's been estranged from his brother Sebastian for decades,ever since their bitter feud over the love of a woman and the inheritance of the family farm.Twelve Nights transports us to the wintry depths of Europe's Black Forest,through the stillness of the snow-covered hills,the dense woods,the cold and mist,in those dark,wild days between Christmas and Epiphany. These nights are a time of tradition and superstition,of tales told around the local innkeeper's table of marauding spirits,as tangible as the ghosts of Manfred's past. But the twelfth night,Epiphany,promises new beginnings,and a hope of reconciliation at last.Twelve Nights is a hymn to the winter landscape and the power of storytelling,a beautiful novella of the natural world and our place in it.
