"Ismail Kadare is one of Europe's most consistently interesting and powerful contemporary novelists, a writer whose stark, memorable prose imprints itself on the reader's consciousness." --Los Angeles Times An old woman is awoken in the dead of night by knocks at her front door. The woman opens it to find her daughter, Doruntine, standing there alone in the darkness. She has been brought home from a distant land by a mysterious rider she claims is her brother Konstandin. But unbeknownst to her, Konstandin has been dead for years. What follows is chain of events which plunges a medieval village into fear and mistrust. Who is the ghost rider? From the Trade Paperback edition.

I have to say I really enjoyed reading this book. It wasn‘t quite what I expected but it was a very good read.

Giving this one a go for a bit. There hasn‘t been a lot of reading happening round here of late but now the seasonal stuff is over I hope to dive in.

Dilara If that's the book I think it is (my version's title is “Qui a ramené Doruntine ?“, ie “Who brought back Doruntine“?), I hope you like it - I did! 2y
Darklunarose @Dilara that‘s the one. And I am enjoying it, inky got the first chapter read last night, but about to sit down in the (hopeful) quiet to read some more. My project for the last few years has been to slowly read a book set in each country. This one is my Albanian book 2y
