O książce
“THE ISLAND OF CHARON” is a philosophical thriller in the spirit of A. de Saint-Exupery. The lighthouse of that Island is the Wish Tree. Magicians fulfill dreams for a couple of lanterns, but Alice has nightmares about her own drowning, she is haunted by the shadow of the late beekeeper, and a strange child calls her mom. Can the victim and the executioner, in love with each other, unravel the secret of the Island’s owner, who lives in the Cemetery of Memories, to leave the cursed place forever?
