What this book is about
Leckie's 2019 standalone fantasy novel tells two interweaving stories: a god (the Strength and Patience of the Hill) narrating across thousands of years, and Eolo, sent to discover what happened to his lord in a palace full of intrigue. Unusual and remarkable. For older teens and adults.
