The Midnight Zoo by Sonya Hartnett

The Midnight Zoo by Sonya Hartnett

A brilliantly told magical story that questions what it means to be free. World War II, Eastern Europe: Tomas and his younger brother, Andrej, have fled their Romany encampment which has been besieged by the Germans; they carry Wilma, their baby sister, in a sack. In an abandoned, bombed-out town, the children discover a zoo. In it are a wolf and an eagle, a monkey, bear, lioness, seal, chamois and llama. The animals tell their stories to the children as they try to begin to understand what has become of their lives and, when they try to figure out a way to release the animals, what it means to be free.

Hartnett is a writer of rare and extraordinary talent.. a finely told and fascinating tale. * The Bookseller *
It’s a heartbreaking, magical story of life and liberty, and what it means to be free. -- Fiona Noble * Bookseller *
