A darkly atmospheric, award-winning historical fantasy steeped in Jewish folklore. Set in nineteenth-century Eastern Europe, the story follows two teenagers, Yehuda Leib and Bluma, who are separately pulled from their small shtetl into the Far Country—the mysterious, dangerous realm of the dead where demons and the Angel of Death hold sway. As they navigate this eerie landscape, they must use their wits, courage, and ancient traditions to find their way back home.
