About the book: 2019 / A few years ago, Jess lost her little son. One day she escapes from the big city and goes to the wilderness - a quiet place surrounded by lakes and mountains, where, by a strange coincidence, she finds herself in the house of an unfamiliar elderly woman who calls herself a “seer” and is looking for mysterious “lost ends.” Jess is gradually imbued with the unobvious magic of her new home and even, as it seems to her, finds love. But the past inevitably pulls her back, preventing her from gaining faith in goodness and a better future. Melissa Payne has created a beautiful, mysterious and slightly melancholic world, which is sometimes sorely lacking in contrast to our prosaic reality. A wonderful example of magical realism and romantic prose.
