Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The word is on the tip of your tongue. It is never coming back.In Novena Falls, the words for small mercies are going quiet. Not forgotten - scraped, one at a time, so gently that each soul believes the grey is theirs alone. The word for the held bus. A child's word for sleep. The private name a dying man keeps for the gold light at the end of a day's work. And the gods of the overlooked are made of prayers: you cannot pray for what you cannot name - and the mercy you cannot name starves.From the Ambry - a former telephone exchange kept alive by love long after the world stopped needing it - the household of small gods mounts the unlikeliest defence ever raised against oblivion: a hoard of kept words, a choir of the unaverageable, and a god of the tip-of-the-tongue who becomes, to everyone's surprise including his own, the keystone of a war.Then they discover the flattening can be undone - and go down into the grey itself, to bring back a town the machine swallowed thirty years ago.Warm, funny, and quietly enormous, The Untranslatable is the fourth book of the Patron Saints of Small Things - for readers of Terry Pratchett, Good Omens, and anyone who has ever had their own private word for something. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
