* Description
It's 1913 and a young, carefree and recklessly innocent girl, Mina, goes out into the forest on the edge of the Baltic sea and meets a gang of rowdy young men with revolution on their minds. It sounds like a fairy tale but it's life.

The adventure leads to flight, emigration and a new land, a new language and the pursuit of idealism or happiness - in Liverpool. But what of the stories from the old country; how do they shape and form the next generations who have heard the well-worn tales?

From the flour mills of Latvia to Liverpool suburbia to post-war Soho, The Story of the Forest is about myths and memory and about how families adapt in order to survive. It is a story full of the humour and wisdom we have come to relish from this wonderful writer.

From the Orange Prize-winning and Man Booker-shortlisted Linda Grant.

No, that's not correct.
The Kindle edition has an ASIN and the hardcover edition as well as the paperback edition have different ISBNs.

The book record for the Kindle edition was already auto-created by the amazon_com import bot on Feb 13, 2023 but wrongly contains both the (correct) ASIN as well as the (incorrect) ISBNs which belong to the hardcover edition.

I contacted the GR staff and requested to move the ISBNs to the newly added hardcover edition. Usually this will be done within the next few hours.
