The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana – Umberto Eco

A stroke has stolen Yambo's memories — not the words in his head, but the life in his heart. He can quote poetry and literature from memory, yet cannot recall his wife's face or his own childhood. Retreating to his family home, he sifts through decades of comics, novels, records, and wartime ephemera, searching for the self he has lost.

Richly illustrated and unlike anything else in literary fiction, The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana is a deeply moving meditation on memory, identity, and nostalgia from the author of The Name of the Rose. An international bestseller with a ~3.7/5 Goodreads rating.

Perfect for fans of Foucault's Pendulum and The Name of the Rose (Umberto Eco) and The Shadow of the Wind (Carlos Ruiz Zafón).

A paperback in Very Good condition — minor shelf wear, pages clean and intact, binding tight.
