Description
Bianca Lakoseljac's debut novel, The Summer of the Dancing Bear is a mesmerizing melange of love story and mystery, as young protagonist Kata explores the unfamiliar world of the gypsy tribe that has befriended her and embarks on a quest to discover the fate of a neighbour's missing child. Memory and magic play their roles until the shocking denouement that reveals Kata's own family secrets and forever alters her perceptions of life as she once knew it. Engaging and original, the novel fuses history, myth, and tradition in a whimsical literary voice that reminds us that the complex and innocent humanity in us is too often haunted by human tragedy.
Advance Praise
The Summer of the Dancing Bear is taut with suspense as Kata continues her quest
to discover the truth about Angela’s baby and also confronts her deepening
feelings for Lorca, a contradictory man who seeks a modern university education
even as he pledges his commitment to Roma tradition, values and customs. This
riveting novel leads to a shocking denouement that reveals long-ago secrets and
shatters Kata’s world forever, and propels her into the realm of ancient magic.
