This is the story of a child, a child born with black eyes that float in and out of focus, a child soft and round, with translucent legs veined with blue and unable to take his weight, an eternal baby. This is the story of his place in the Cévennes house where he was born, overlooked by mountains and surrounded by the stones of the garden walls. This is the story of his siblings: the eldest, who loves the child intensely, who spends his days cheek-to-cheek with his baby brother, showing him the world around them; the sister who rejects the child and hates him for consuming the attention of her parents and brother, for turning her family upside down; and the youngest, born after the child dies, who lives in his memory and has the life that could have been.Told with tender, lyrical precision, And the Stones Cry Out is a compelling hymn to unexpected strength and resilience, a reminder that even when tragedy strikes, love will persevere.
