Veuillez noter que ce livre est en anglais.
On the night of the new moon of early spring, Briona sets out on her Turas, the vital journey that will mark her passage into adulthood.
Her task is to travel to Newgrange and place her birthstone on the great mound, as tradition indicates.
Raised under the guidance of her grandmother, Mona, the Reader of Charts, Briona has been told she may one day become a Keeper of Stones, one who deciphers the whispers of the earth to help her people. As she follows the ancient paths through forests and sacred sites, Briona finds herself drawn not only toward her destiny—but also toward the stirrings of first love, unexpected and uncertain, yet as vital as the journey itself.
Will she choose to stay on her destined path or to leave to follow love? The stakes are high and only Briona can decide.
“An evocative, intriguing journey through ancient Ireland, exploring coming-of-age in an era far less obsessed with individualism, and far more attuned to nature and community, than our own. This immersive, thoughtful novel is a pleasure to read.”
Claire Hennessy, Author of In The Movie Of My Life
