Böcker av Kristina Mahr

They say that people in glass housesshouldn't throw stones, but what about people in glass heartsthey used to call homes. In Kristina Mahr's latest exploration of love and loss, you will get to explore that glass heart from inside of it, hands pressed to the glass, fingertips tracing the cracks. People in Glass Hearts is filled with the emotive poetry Mahr has become known for, alternately leading you gently through the shards and dragging you headlong through them. In either case, though, as you traverse them, you will not be alone.

Invisible to the man she loves, Reeve Lennox fights to reclaim him from a dark world. As her wedding day nears in Acarsaid, her betrothed Arden offers only his wayward soul and saucy tongue. At night she desperately tries to reach Bran, the young soldier of nightmarish Tenebris who holds her heart. However, her king insists that the realms of Tenebris and Acarsaid must remain separate, lest the evil wizard Rancore brutally conquer all. But the dark magic of Tenebris defies mere distance. A war is coming, one only Reeve may be able to prevent, if she can reunite her family on opposing sides. With two kingdoms at stake, Reeve must discover her strength and her family's legacy before all is lost. Yet righting the wrongs of the past may require the sacrifice of her truest love.

A collection of over 400 poems spanning five years of love and loss, heartbreak and healing. You could call these Kristina Mahr's greatest hits, and it would be true in more than one way - these are the greatest hitsa heart can take.

I am not afraidof love, I amafraid of whatcomes after. Kristina Mahr uses a combination of long, flowing pieces and short, dagger-sharp pieces to explore just what does come after love. Spoiler alert: a lot of difficult things. But then, eventually - though it seems impossible in the aftermath - what comes next is more love.
