Product Description

From Booklist

In Griffin and Sabine creator Bantock's latest mix of story and art, Ana, a spirited young woman with a passion for dance, awakens on the morning of her wedding with a sense of dread. She is betrothed to Marco, and the wedding will mean that Ana's people, the Capolan, will abandon their nomadic ways and settle in a lush valley. Both Ana and her grandfather believe doing so would be a mistake, and when a storm breaks out during the wedding, she decides to run away and seek Felix Bulerias, the famed dance instructor her grandfather believes can help her convince the Capolans that the wedding plans are a mistake. Ana journeys to the town of Sedona, where she meets four very different men: the seductive Boreos, the dreamy Zephyr, the wise Mr. Hamattan, and the heroic Sirocco. Ana is drawn to all four for different reasons, but she gradually discovers their motives for befriending her are suspect. With lush, rich writing and beautiful illustrations on each page, Bantock and coauthor Ponti weave a mythological tale. Kristine Huntley

Book Description

With the same romance and drama that put his Griffin and Sabine novels on the New York Times bestseller list for over 100 weeks, read by over three million readers worldwide, author and artist Nick Bantock tells the intriguing story of a woman who must fight for her people's way of life.

In a Capolan caravan camp, a young dancer named Ana is betrothed to a fine man she doesn't love. Torn, she flees in search of the elusive Felix, who has answers she seeks. But the unseemly attentions of four unusual men lure Ana into unimaginable directions--and unlock a powerful sensuality.

Decorated with a four-colour frieze along the bottom of each spread, Windflower is written with writer, director and actor Edoardo Ponti, the son of Sophia Loren and Carlo Ponti. Ponti is also adapting the novel as a screenplay.
