Vivid storytelling with complex and colourful characters... spectacular'' David MorrisseyIt''s 1913 and a young, carefree and recklessly innocent girl, Mina, goes out into the forest on the edge of the Baltic sea and meets a gang of rowdy young men with revolution on their minds. It sounds like a fairy tale but it''s life.The adventure leads to flight, emigration and a new land, a new language and the pursuit of idealism or happiness - in Liverpool. But what of the stories from the old country; how do they shape and form the next generations who have heard the well-worn tales?From the flour mills of Latvia to Liverpool suburbia to post-war Soho, The Story of the Forest is about myths and memory and about how families adapt in to survive. It is a story full of the humour and wisdom we have come to relish from this wonderful writer. Giá sản phẩm trên Tiki đã bao gồm thuế theo luật hiện hành.
