House of Day, House of Night
by Olga Tokarczuk
Nowa Ruda is a small town in Silesia, an area that has been a
part of Poland, Germany, and the former Czechoslovakia in the
past. When the narrator moves into the area, she discovers
everyone--and everything--has its own story. With the help of
Marta, her enigmatic neighbor, the narrator accumulates these
stories, tracing the history of Nowa Ruda from the founding
of the town to the lives of its saints, from the caller who wins
the radio quiz every day to the tale of the man who causes
international tension when he dies on the border, one leg on
the Polish side, the other on the Czech side.

He raised me to obey. To bleed. To be his blade when the time
came. Now he's sending me to Endir University, a place filled
with ancient bloodlines and deadly secrets, to steal back Mjolnir,
the hammer of legend.
