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!

"...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

"...an enchanting tale... a haunting story that will linger in your mind long after you’ve turned the last page."

 Louise Perry, Author of CARIBBEAN CHARADE
