Mervedi Kautako: The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

The land is cold. The sky is silent. But love still finds a way to bloom. In a quiet village, where the earth feels unkind and the seasons barely change, Aya lives a simple life filled with silence and small wonders. She writes to the Moon - the only thing that listens when no one else does. Through those letters, she captures her deepest hopes, her heartbreaks, and the fragile beauty of existing in a world that gives little back. When illness begins to dim her light, Aya's love becomes her final gift to her daughter, Sora - a love so strong it survives even death. Years later, Sora learns to live within that love, to find warmth in the coldness of the world, and to pass it on to her own daughter, another Aya, who will carry that same quiet fire forward. Tender, poetic, and deeply human, this debut novel by 18-year-old author Mervedi Kautako explores how love, memory, and light endure through generations - even in the harshest places. For anyone who has ever loved, lost, or searched for warmth in an unkind world, The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We is a reminder that love never really disappears. It simply changes form - like the Moon, always there, always shining.
