Publisher's Synopsis
Carrying the memories of a family whose hopes and existence were crushed under the autocratic regime of a Soviet Block country, a spirit wanders to avenge its loss by observing and possessing the living. Ruthless, passionate, exuberant, inexorable and sometimes deadly, the muse knows no mercy in its pursuit of achievements and its search for meaning. In its travels through endless landscapes and various walks of life, decades of experiences fracture into a kaleidoscopic collage of unlikely correlations, identity confusion, ethical introspection, and the unrelenting debate over the distinction between acting and being. Lyrical and pragmatic, vibrant and macabre, tantalizing and forbidding, hilarious and solemn, excruciating and redeeming, Blanchet Chronicles: Flight in the Shadows follows the desperate journey of a soul seeking to live when life has been irrevocably denied. This spellbindingly exotic and intensely psychological work listed as the top-ranking novel in the 2009 all-genre competition on TVWriter, the prestigious networking site for the film and teleplay industry. Not intended for readers under age 13.
