  <default-description>In a story full of lust, madness, and ecstasy, we meet twelve distinctive characters that lived in the same region of central England over a span of six thousand years. Each interconnected tale traces a path in a journey of discovery of the secrets of the land. In the tradition of Kipling's Puck of Pook's Hill, Schwob's Imaginary Lives and Borges' A Universal History of Infamy, Moore travels through history blending truth and conjecture, in a novel that is dazzling, moving, sometimes tragic, but always mesmerizing. This edition presents Voice of the Fire for the first time in hardcover format, with full color illustrations by Jose Villarrubia.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I think that, other than Neil Gaiman (who blurbed this book), I'm possibly one of the few people to actually finish this tome, and that's a shame because it's great. For real deal Holyfields it is. Sure, the first super long chapter is told from the point of view of a developmentally disabled cavema...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9699089">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a weird collection of stories centered around Northampton, England through the centuries.  Filled with stories of madness and magic, it sort of petered out at the end, as the author injected himself into the story and tried to find the ties that connected the stories, not completely effecti...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12159651">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[When I finished this I was already anticipating reading it again to see what I missed the first time through. It took me a few days to get past the first section, but it was well worth the trouble and possibly the most engrossing of all the stories. This book easily rewards the effort you put in to ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12830537">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting book. Still reading it. Although it's a novel each chapter can be read as a short story, which is good since I found the first chapter, &quot;Hob's Hog 4000 BC&quot; really hard to get through and skipped to &quot;Partners in Knitting&quot; a great story about two witches being burned at...]]></body>
