Antonia is the sole inhabitant of a deserted town- with only a roaming pack of dogs and her own worn out memories to keep her company. Nothing is new in this world- the ponds are so still they are dead- and her recollections feel more vivid than her surroundings. At times- the isolation is unbearable. Until she meets her flower. Her flower gives her purpose: a reason to get up each morning- to ring the bells of the town- to wake up the fields- and to feel alive. And yet a relentless thought eats away at her-what will happen once her flower dies? Her quest to save the flower begins alongside a charming traveler from the land of mirrors. The pair embark on a journey filled with music- swimming holes- and folk tales whispered late into the starry night. They march through the fields to the beat of turtledove calls- occasionally stopping to get drunk off the fruits of the strawberry tree. Slowly Antonia opens up to the world beyond her town- to the people who inhabit it-and to the endless possibilities of community and friendship.
