A woman sells her daughter to a beekeeper for two jars of honey. An old crone, who sold simple meals out of her home, is rumoured to have amassed a fortune but dies before anyone can learn the truth. An unusually large baby born in the harsh winter but named ‘Girl of Spring’ is mute, yet she can communicate with elephants. These are the women, connected by time and fate, who set this sweeping, multi-generation fantasy tale in motion.
