Edigna flees an arranged marriage and creates a home in the hollow of a linden tree. She illuminates manuscripts for a nearby abbey, and as she becomes a legendary story told round fires, she begins to lose her grip on the physical world. She doesn't want to be only a story: She wants to be a body too. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA magical short story, from the author of \u003ci\u003eIn the Great Quiet\u003c\/i\u003e, that reimagines the medieval legend of Edigna of Puch as the original Rapunzel. \u003ci\u003eBlue Beyond the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e is a rewrite of the history of women in art, inspired by the surprising blue fragments of lapis lazuli found by archeologists in the remains of a medieval woman's teeth. It's grounded historical fiction with a dash of fabulism--perfect for fans of V. E. Schwab's \u003ci\u003eInvisible Life of Addie LaRue\u003c\/i\u003e, Katherine Arden's \u003ci\u003eThe Bear and the Nightingale\u003c\/i\u003e, and Susanna Clarke's \u003ci\u003ePiranesi\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA cloudshadow fell over the tree, so the eerie blue glow of dawn shaded the branches ash and smoke. I thought of that tale of a girl abandoned in a tower, the one with the coils of yellow hair trailing down like vines rooting into the earth. Maybe she hadn't been trapped there-maybe she'd climbed up herself.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Vogt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798251073270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.12d","brand":"Laura Vogt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49084110635263,"sku":"9798251073270","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blue-beyond-the-sea-laura-vogt-9798251073270","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
