Fifteen-year-old Emer Ahern is standing a foot away from her father when he is struck dead by Zeus's lightning. Xylon, a hitherto unknown god stands in the bolt's way and absorbs Zeus's fire on her behalf. Her life is spared, but before she is returned to her family's farm in Oklahoma, Xylon whispers stories into her ear, all part of his plan to, at last, be worshiped by mortals.

Amazing Book

I really liked this book. It fits no particular genre that I know of. The narrative ranges from down and dirty dust bowl Oklahoma to mystical encounters with strange figures, to a biting satire of today’s Hollywood. There is humor and wisdom throughout. The style echoes Cormac McCarthy at times, Joseph Conrad at others. Always eloquent and frequently humorous. The recounting of one protagonist’s role in the holocaust and his lifetime of debilitating guilt is heartbreaking. As I live in Santa Fe, I particularly enjoyed the scene from the 1930’s involving Fiesta and the burning of a giant puppet called Zozobra--a ritual that goes on to this day. Once you’ve entered this author’s world it’s hard to let it go. Sarah-Jane Drummey’s lyrical narration is spot on--a pleasure to listen to throughout the book.
