Descriere The Elephant Keepers' Children: A Novel by the Author of Smilla's Sense of Snow - Peter Hoeg

From the author of Smilla's Sense of Snow, an epic novel about faith and the magic of everyday life. \nTold from the precocious perspective of fourteen-year-old Peter, The Elephant Keepers' Children is about three siblings and how they deal with life alongside their eccentric parents. Peter's father is a vicar, his mother is an artisan, and both are equally and profoundly devout. The family lives on the (fictional) island of Fin , where people of all religious faiths coexist peacefully. Yet, nothing is at it seems. \n When Peter's parents suddenly go missing, Peter and his siblings fear the worst--has their parents' relentless quest to boost church attendance finally put them in danger? Told with poignancy and humor, The Elephant Keepers' Children is a fascinating exploration of fundamentalism versus spiritual freedom, the vicissitudes of romantic and familial love, and the triumph of the human spirit.\n
