Crossing the Meadow

 

 

Synopsis

A strange nightmare, a young woman in a foggy city and a body buried underneath a bathtub, all converge to force an ordinary man to investigate a dark, long forgotten past.

A little girl who can see her dead cat, an old blind woman and a beautiful girl who died too young, unknowingly play a role in a game in which humanity must survive the death of the flesh.

They don't know what awaits them beyond that meadow, but they are determined to find out…

CROSSING THE MEADOW guides you into the twilight zone where dead people brush silently past the living ones and, often without noticing, affect their fate.

Warning: Your perception of the space around you will never again be the same!

Reviews

"One of the pleasures of being a ghost is having the ability to spy on people in their homes without fear of discovery. Reading Crossing the Meadow is a little like doing just that...

This is a short, intimate book with believable characters and an original take on the supernatural that will interest anyone who has ever enjoyed a spot of surreptitious people-watching."

 

Rosalind Jackson - Warpcore SF

 

 

"CROSSING THE MEADOW could be a depressing novel of death and despair; instead, Kfir Luzzatto has made it a testimony of hope and a promise of better things to come... This novel is great easy reading for a relaxed summer evening"

 

Alice Holman - The RAWSISTAZ Reviews

 

 

"This book is entertaining and worthy of every second of your time. Kfir Luzzatto has written a winner..."

 

Tyrone Banks - Betsie's Literary Page

 

 

"...it does for ghosts what Anne Rice's 'Interview with the Vampire' did for the blood-sucking living dead a couple of decades back... you really need to discover all the other charming aspects of 'Crossing the Meadow' on you own."

 

RON MILLER - TheColumnists.com

 

 

"Very good read! Mystery with just the right touch of the supernatural. I'll remember this story for a long time to come. Highly recommended."

 

Shirley Priscilla Johnson - Midwest Book review

 

"That his characters manage to accomplish their goals with a degree of compassion and perseverance suggests a commendable degree of wisdom and promises well for future books."

 

John Walsh - Bookpleasures.com

 

 

"...fine mystery, bordering on occult, culminating in an exciting and romantic finish. I enjoyed it, and is highly recommended."

 

Narayan Radhakrishnan - New Mystery Reader Magazine

 

 

"CROSSING THE MEADOW offers a fascinating glimpse into what may happen if we leave this world with unfinished business on our minds...  For anyone looking for something different to read, CROSSING THE MEADOW is an interesting and thought-provoking tale by a very talented writer."

 

Chris Grover - Word Museum Reviews

 

 

"...the beauty of Luzzatto's writing style is that it pulls you along into the story. It makes you turn the page... No, of course I'm not going to tell you what it is... if I told you, you might miss out on Luzzatto's exquisite writing. Dying without knowing why is bad enough. But missing out on this novel? I'm afraid we deadies can't let you cross the meadow until you've read it..."

 

Tyree Campbell - Sam's Dot Publishing

 

 

"...an examination, remarkably tender and often ironic, of the nature of humanity once the tedious business of living is removed."

 

Marc Vun Kannon

Author of UNBINDING THE STONE

 

 

"...this is a captivating read.  I felt myself racing to the end to find out what lies beyond the meadow."

 

Natalie Hannah - Roundtable Reviews

 

 

"...an enchanting tale, in turn sad, humorous, suspenseful and a bit eerie at times, yet always engaging... It’s a haunting story that will linger in your mind long after you’ve turned the last page."

 

Louise Perry, Author of CARIBBEAN CHARADE

 

 

"secrets...death...a journey...full of tears, laughter, and finally, joy."
