Spanning Norway, Washington DC and Greece, this is a visionary story about letters never sent, life once flowing and now frozen, swim-flying in golden light and the beauty of human connection.
Above all, it is a story about how sad it would be if everything became like everything else.
Praise for This Is All He Asks of You
'A twelve-year-old girl writes letters about her life to her long-gone, unknown father. This is a simple, yet deeply moving story about the power of love and light in our lives. Spiritual at heart and authentic in form; this is a slow-paced account of the importance of our connection to the natural world, and to each other.'
Anne Synnøve Simensen, author of 'The Woman behind the Nobel Peace Prize: Bertha von Suttner and Alfred Nobel'.
'This lovely book is delightful, funny, and at the same time genuinely profound. Wisdom runs through the narrative like a vein of gold through quartz, evoking an inner sense and capacity which is both real and desperately needed in our troubled, heedless times. An authentic voice, a story which lingers in the mind like a fragrance.'
Lucy Oliver, author of 'The Meditator's Guidebook'.
'A tender story about human connection that shines with compassion.'
Jenny Downham, award winning author of 'Before I Die', 'You against Me' and 'Unbecoming'.
'I so love this child, Luna, who writes with a heart intimacy, who endures, who grows, maybe because she stays so close to her light. I celebrate Anne Egseth's strong and sensitive offering.'
Janet Adler, author of 'Arching Backward' and 'Offering from the Conscious Body'.
'Anne Egseth has written a touching story that makes both the tangible and the spiritual as real as the grief of the young protagonist, Luna. This is All he Asks of you is a very poetic and intriguing book that will make you mull over where your own life has taken you.'
B.R. Wilkerson, author of 'A Glance at My Other' and winner of the 2018 NY Big Book Award
