Lilith: A Romance

About this book

Mr. Vane inherits a library, meets a mysterious raven and discovers a mirror that opens into another world. On the far side lie strange sleepers, lost children and a woman named Lilith whose story reaches toward the beginnings of humanity.

George MacDonald's dream-fantasy turns selfishness, death and renewal into people and places Vane must confront. The Little Ones and the enigmatic raven guide the novel's changing mood, while Lilith herself brings the deepest questions into focus. The more Vane learns of Lilith, the less secure his ideas about life and death become.
