Angol
He has been looking for her for two thousand years.
He just doesn't know it yet.
In a cold silk-workshop in Lyon, Lucian Ashcombe - an English earl's heir
who has never wanted for anything - meets Mina Sisourath, a Lao refugee
weaver who has never been given anything. Neither speaks the other's
language. Both feel, from the first moment, that they have met before.
They have. Two thousand years earlier, on a high plain in ancient Laos, a poor
stonecarver loved a king's daughter - a love that ended in grief, in stone, and
in a song left unfinished. And a soul that dies with its love unfinished does
not rest: it is born again, and again, and goes looking - across centuries,
across wars, across the whole turning world.
Now, in one life, the song has finally brought them back together - and the
same cold thing that has hunted them through every life has found them too.
Spanning the standing stones of the Plain of Jars and the silk-stairs of
modern Lyon, Until the Stone Forgets is a sweeping, devastating debut about
heritage, memory, and whether a love finally lived all the way through can
undo what a love half-lived began.
For readers of The Song of Achilles, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and Past
Lives.
