Beschreibung

<p><b>'An epic.... Impactful and provocative' </b><i>The New York Times</i><br><b>'An almost note-perfect piece of first-person storytelling'</b> <i>Guardian</i><br><b>'Subtle, intelligent and humane'</b> <i>Sunday Telegraph<br><b>____________</b></i><br><br><b>John Boyne's acclaimed quartet of <i>Water, Earth, Fire </i>and <i>Air</i> come together at last.<br><br>Human life is governed by the elements - water, earth, fire and air. They are fundamental to our existence. They sustain us, but they also challenge us.</b><br><br>In <i>The Elements</i>, John Boyne has created a vivid kaleidoscope to reflect that contradiction: a quartet of intertwined narratives, each providing a different perspective on cause and effect from the points of view of the enabler, the accomplice, the perpetrator and the victim.<br><br>From a mother on the run from her past, to a young football star on trial, a successful surgeon grappling with childhood trauma, and finally a father on a transformative journey with his son, the four strands weave together to form a tapestry of intersecting lives.<br><br>Boyne's most ambitious work yet, <i>The Elements</i> is both an engrossing drama and a moving examination of the fault lines inherent to human experience. In crisp, spellbinding prose, he navigates a complex subject with extraordinary empathy and unflinching honesty, at every step challenging us to confront our own perceptions of who we are and what made us that way.</p>
