{"product_id":"and-clouds-passed-above-thomas-van-der-hof-9781978041738","title":"And Clouds Passed Above","description":"In a tale of mystery, there's a choice that reaches to a past that's been missing, and a thread that stretches through the years, for a boy who sees a world of faraway tales, and present secrets. Until now as a young man, Jaan finds a task set before him, by the enigmatic figure of his grandfather. On a journey that leads away from his small village on a quiet fiord, to forgotten routes high among mountain passes and their towering cities, across ancient desert lands and the lingering echoes of lost kingdoms, to a city in the clouds and its riddle for a few who are drawn within. And to many other wonderful and desolate places, until his destination is at last reached, on a hidden and secret island, in the completion of his grandfather's request. Reminiscent of a present-day fairytale, And Clouds Passed Above shares thematic similarities with The Alchemist, The Name of the Wind, and Life of Pi. Where each place is part of a choice in how to spend a life, and whether something else may lie beyond. At its heart is also the way the world seems as a child, the way each moment and experience has a feeling and texture, and magic and mystery, wondering if this might stay, each day, waiting to be rediscovered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Van Der Hof\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 197804173X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978041738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.70d","brand":"Thomas Van Der Hof","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49166021329151,"sku":"9781978041738","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/and-clouds-passed-above-thomas-van-der-hof-9781978041738","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
