The Life of Elves

Described as a 'truly enchanting story' by the Irish Times, the acclaimed author of The Elegance of the Hedgehog brings us a lyrical homage to the powers of nature and art, told by two young girls who are destined to change the worldTwo foundling girls hundreds of miles apart discover a unique bond that will help them fight the forces of evil.The villagers had never seen anything like it: dense white curtains of snow that instantly transformed the landscape. Not in autumn, not here in Burgundy. And on the same night a baby was discovered, dark-eyed little Maria, who would transform all their lives.Hundreds of miles away in the mountains of Abruzzo, another foundling, Clara, astonishes everyone with her extraordinary talent for piano-playing. But her gifts go far beyond simple musicianship.As a time of great danger looms, though the girls know nothing of each other, it is the bond that unites them and others like them, which will ultimately offer the only chance for good to prevail in the world.
