<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Two women in Ancient Sumeria must navigate the challenge of their world, and the next.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In ancient Sumeria, only a thin veil separates the living from the dead.<br /> <br /> The lives of Ziz, her mother, Meshara, and her father, Temen, are disrupted when a mysterious crevasse rends the earth. Temen becomes obsessed with the mystery and, capturing a crow to guide him, he follows a path to the netherworld where he hopes to gain wisdom from his dead father. Yet he soon finds that ancestors don't always provide the answers we need.<br /> <br /> In his absence, a grisly accident occurs on their farm -- Meshara and Ziz are forced to flee. Friendless and alone, they must find a way to survive despite the brutalities of their landlord and devotees of the religious nation-state. Will the women revel in their new companionship or seek to find freedom elsewhere?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A page turner deep into the night - you won't put this one down!This was a very pleasant surprise, I didn't know what to expect and found one of the best reads I've had all year, and I read a lot. Almost a modernish fable, akin to The Alchemist in the joining of actual and supernatural elements. Enjoyed every minute and rejoiced at the end." - Bonita Soley, NetGalley Reviewer</p><p><br></p><p>"This book is truly something special..." - Ami Campillo, NetGalley Reviewer</p><p><br></p><p>"The themes throughout the novel were excellent. Revolving around slavery, freedom, personal choice, and self-identification/actualization, the setting was perfect for a discussion of such themes and I thought they were handled excellently. Also, the prologue for this book completely hooked me. It is one of the best prologues I have read in recent memory." - Anna Kelly, NetGalley Reviewer</p><br>
