Fane Productions | Christy Lefteri & Heather Morris | Book of Fire (FULL EVENT) @faneproductions | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 8 minutes ago.
'This morning, I met the man who started the fire. You see, he was the one who took it all away, all of life as I knew it. He stole the world.'
Once upon a time there was a beautiful village that held a million stories of love and loss and peace and war, and it was all swallowed up by a fire that blazed up to the sky.
Join us for a virtual event like no other, as we celebrate the highly anticipated publication of The Book of Fire by bestselling author Christy Lefteri, acclaimed writer of The Beekeeper of Aleppo and Songbirds.
Once again, Christy has crafted a novel which is intimate and epic, sweeping and delicate. In conversation for this incredible virtual event, Christy will share the creative process and profound message behind this extraordinary tale. This evening will be a journey through love, loss and the resilience of the human spirit.
The Book of Fire follows a family living a simple life on a tiny Greek island until their lives are changed forever following a devastating fire. From the smouldering ruins of this devastation, the indomitable spirit of hope emerges. Sign up today to join Christy as she discusses not only the damage wrought by human folly, but also – and ultimately – our powers of redemption and renewal.
A Night In with Christy Lefteri was originally broadcast on Tue 22 Aug 2023.
