  A young woman enters a fantastically strange family in this “luminous and alarming lesson on desire” by the international-bestselling author (La Stampa, Italy). 
   
  A young woman is promised to the scion of a noble family. While her betrothed is away traveling, she is sent to the family’s villa to make her marriage preparations. There, the woman discovers that her future in-laws fear the coming of night, each and every night, and seem to never sleep. As the days pass, the atmosphere turns increasingly surreal, and the young bride’s interactions with the family turn increasingly erotic. 
   
  In this “virtuoso literary performance,” Alessandro Baricco portrays a cast of mysterious characters who exist outside of the normal rules of causation. The Young Bride is an adult fable about fate, otherness, and the author’s own act of creation (European Literature Network). 
   
  “Baricco spins it all together into a work of elegance, eroticism and playful make-believe.” —The Wall Street Journal

  Was the killer one of the frustrated neighbors? Mr. Peter's nephew? The delivery man? Or someone else? Mr. Peter's ghost won't rest until his murderer is brought to justice, and neither will Kay.

  "Oh great, more paperwork!" moaned a man in a blue top hat and tux in a mask. He was known as Blue Midnight, a superhero. His son hit him on the back and laughed. "You love paperwork what are you worried about," said his son laughing. 
  "Get out of my hair boy," Blake snapped at his son Lance who was dress similarly in blue. 
  "You'd think you didn't love me," said his son sarcastically. 
  "Not now I'm on a case Enchanter," Blake then said accusingly "The Necromancer Murdered another person." 
  "Oh, that is terrible! Did I know them?" Lance asked. 
  "You tell me! We can't id them. We are going to have to do DNA tests and tooth tests, not much left of them," Blake said disgustedly. 
  "That bad eh!" Lance said sadly. 
  "That's not the only one, he struck again yesterday," Blake said. 
  Lance lost the sarcastic manner he had. He looked shocked. 
  "The other murder wasn't him someone framed him! He's innocent as a lamb," Lance said. 
  “I could never call him a lamb, he's a wolf,” Blake said.
