THE END OF DRUM-TIME by Hanna Pylväinen
2 starred reviews!
“Ambitious and resonant, a vivid, fascinating, and moving novel… Beautifully written and masterfully researched, the book’s greatest triumph is the characters, full of human foibles, passions, and tenderness, jealousy, courage, doubts, and moments of transcendence.”–Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Pylväinen’s captivating latest (after WE SINNERS) follows the inhabitants of a tiny Swedish village in the Arctic Circle in 1852 as a pastor’s popularity begins to take off… With immersive details of Bible thumping and reindeer herding, the author evocatively captures two cultures and shows what happens when Christian mores collide with the customs of the remote Sami. This is transcendent.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Situated in rural Ohio, a community whose members belong to the Dönme sect—descendants of Jews within the Ottoman Empire who converted to Islam—is upended when the son of their self-proclaimed prophet is murdered. Journalist Zeke Leger, whose college girlfriend prosecuted the case, is intrigued enough to take another look.”–Library Journal Pre Pub Alert
