Under a Sky on Fire

Meer over het boek

The story opens with a vivid scene featuring a young girl in a blue nightie, barefoot and dirty, illuminated by nearby fires. As Lizzie approaches, the child's closed eyes and upward-facing palms evoke a sense of innocence, reminiscent of prayer. This striking imagery sets the stage for a deeper exploration of themes such as vulnerability, childhood, and perhaps a mystical connection to the environment around them. The scene hints at an emotional journey that may unfold as Lizzie interacts with the girl.
