After the fall of Troy, an eleven-year-old boy sets off for the razed city once his father and sister fail to return home; an extraordinary, intimate retelling of a familiar legend, for lovers of Circe.

His family farm and the surrounding community now emptied by war, young Hani embarks on an epic quest – assisted by a brooding yet brilliant donkey – to find his lost sister in the ruins of Troy. Some war stories transcend time and circumstance, and so it is with the resourceful and heartbroken Hani, who must employ every bit of intelligence, every scrap of ingenuity, and ultimately every ounce of his spirit and humor to withstand the forces of civilization’s collapse.
 
Hani is no ordinary boy, however, and a character unlike any you’ve ever met. His interior world is one of startling depth and complexity. His insights into life, lives, and history are breathtakingly fresh. And his hope for survival–not a given, and in fact, less than likely–will propel you to the startling conclusion of this brief, elegiac, and singular work.

Genre:

  • "Sing to Me succeeds brilliantly as an adventure story, an epic of war and survival, and a moving portrayal of friendship and familial loyalty. But, for me, the novel’s most remarkable achievement is its inspired unfolding of its young protagonist’s blossoming psyche. Each stage in his hero’s journey leaves Hani a deeper, wiser thinker and a more courageous, compassionate, and ethical human being."
    Sigrid Nunez, author of the National Book Award-winning The Friend
