I was sure I understood. Yet you were not here when

It seems that each cannot exist in the presence of the
other. Yet neither can continue without the presence of
the other. And so, in this final volume of the Griffin &
Sabine trilogy, they struggle against the mysterious
forces that keep them apart. Time is running out:
Sabine's crystalline visions of Griffin's artwork grow
cloudy and dim, and a threatening stranger begins to
appear everywhere she goes. The Golden Mean is the tale
of Griffin and Sabine's journey towards one another,
sometimes dreamy, sometimes desperate, sometimes
nightmarish. The golden mean — the harmony of
perfect balance — is what they seek in the haunting
conclusion of this extraordinary correspondence. i
Told in the compelling style of the first two best-
selling volumes of the trilogy, The Golden Mean allows
readers to open richly decorated envelopes and draw
forth intricately illustrated letters, to decipher the quirky
handwritten postcards with their macabre and magical
artwork, to indulge, in other words, in the wonderfully
illicit activity of reading someone else's mail.
