ABOUT
THE BOOK

1939. A winter in Finland so deadly people called it the white hell. The inhabitants of a small town burn their cherished homes and, with them, their history, as they flee invading Russian troops. But one man refuses to leave: a simple woodsman with an extraordinary instinct for survival. Set against a landscape of light and darkness, blazing fires and life-robbing cold, The Burnt-Out Town of Miracles is a tale of cowards and unexpected heroes, of powerful friendships, lives bound together by war, where nothing matters more than finding the path back home.
