“In this brilliant work, what appears at first a minor mystery quickly becomes emblematic of a whole country's hidden history. Lyrical and compelling, The Shadow Land proves a profound meditation on how evil is inflicted, endured, and, through courage and compassion, defeated. Elizabeth Kostova's third novel clearly establishes her as one of America's finest writers.”
— Ron Rash, author of The Risen
“In The Shadow Land, Elizabeth Kostova, a master storyteller, brings vividly to life an unfamiliar country--Bulgaria--and a painful history that feels particularly relevant now. You won't want to put down this remarkable book.”
— Claire Messud, author of The Woman Upstairs
“A compelling and complex mystery, strong storytelling, and lyrical writing combine for an engrossing read.”
— Publishers Weekly
