Publisher Description:

Falling through the window of their family's cozy house into a dark and bitter world, riven by sectarian violence and struggle, five siblings search for a way out--and discover extraordinary talents deep within themselves on their path toward love.

When siblings Susan, Max, Nell, Kate, and Jean suddenly find themselves in a completely foreign world, they are thrust into a fascinating adventure. An ancient prophecy leads them into a war between mysterious forces, and as they try desperately to remain united and find their way home, the society crumbling around them demands their attention and yet threatens to tear them apart.

Elaborately told from alternating perspectives with exquisite attention to each character's voice, the story follows Max, Nell, Kate, and Susan as they strive to make sense of their stunning predicament in their own ways. A fantastical dystopian tale filled with nuanced looks at morality, sibling relationships, and the meaning of home, this daring novel, by the extraordinary author of Zebra Forest, explores the essence of what it means to be human and what holds a society together.


Contributor Bio(s): Gewirtz, Adina Rishe: - Adina Rishe Gewirtz is the author of Zebra Forest, her critically acclaimed debut novel. She has worked as a freelance journalist, a tutor to high-school students, and a writing consultant. About Blue Window, she says: "I spent much of my own childhood reading science fiction, mostly Isaac Asimov, and had not been exposed to the great classics of fantasy until I was a mother. When my older kids were small, I read them C. S. Lewis's Narnia series and absolutely fell in love with it. What fascinated me most was how many big ideas Lewis packed into his story and how easily even young readers understood those big ideas. What makes someone good? What is this idea we call evil? If someone makes mistakes, even sides with evil, can he or she come back from it? We had some fascinating talks about that." Today, Adina Rishe Gewirtz coaches writers and spends most of her time at her first love, fiction writing. She lives just outside Washington, D.C.
