Leena hates school, loves music and rain, and wanders through the town in a state of childish enchantment. \"Like a spruce cone, a child falls into a world where logical disorder replaces magical order, and there you are―in trouble, we'll agree.\" The world she inhabits features multiple layers of reality, and this is reflected in the novel's artful narrative: life and death are reflections of each other, and reality is merely a map of the individual's inner world. Through the naive perspective of a young girl, the book addresses deep philosophical concerns in simple, lucid prose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 6.9 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 26, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770485801248,"sku":"9781628971385","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/a66837ba0f3f9955abda6616d9f969f4.webp?v=1780372714","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/girl-upon-heavens-pier-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
