Drumul spre casa

Iehuda Leib leaves home and meets the Angel of Death. His journey takes him into the world of the dead. There, he bargains with the demon Mamona to save his father’s soul. Bluma reaches the same dark realm after her grandmother dies. In her grief, she finds a tool Death left among the living. She then makes a pact with Lilith and her sisters.

Demons and fallen angels fill the world they must cross. Both face struggles as they seek answers about themselves. In time, they see what they most want: to face their fear of death and find their way home.

Gavriel Savit’s fantasy for teens explores grief, life, love, and family. It also asks readers to think about fairy tales. The book was a National Book Award finalist. Laura Ciobanu translated this edition from English, where its title is The Way Back.
