The Way Back
Gavriel Savit
When the Messenger of Death comes to Tupik, a small Eastern European shtetl, a boy and a girl begin intersecting journeys through the Far Country. This land of the dead is inhabited and governed by demons, while demons also surround the village world the children know. The historical fantasy draws on Jewish and Hasidic traditions as its travelers encounter sorcery and spirits. Their separate paths unfold between a village threatened by death and a supernatural realm beyond it.
