A Firefly In Amber Michael Dreher

Michael is a dreamer. A wanderer. An explorer. A firefly. So, when he moves from the turmoil of the city to a sleepy English village for work, he thinks he is in paradise. But life has other ideas. As a novel disease sweeps the world, Michael is forced to abandon the countryside he loves so much, and instead to explore the much darker world inside his own mind. A Firefly In Amber is a quiet, moving and poetic portrait of a man cast adrift, separated from friends, family and his lover. Its themes are both timely, and timeless. This novella was written in the early days of the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic. Michael Dreher is a poet, novellist and short story writer from Liverpool, England.
