Though weirdly Amazon seems to give it a much later release date so German bookshops seem to be the best bet if not available locally!!

It’s for sale on Amazon across Europe but also many major bookstores, esp. in Germany/Austria/Poland/etc

The curious death of pagan Europe In Lithuania – Europe’s last pagan kingdom – the death of the old religions was neither swift nor absolute. They lingered on, revealing a slower, stranger story of Christian conversion.

'a masterful guide through Lithuania’s journey from Europe’s last pagan state to the far smaller nation-state it is today'

β€œThough Lithuanians and far-off pagans may seem marginal to European history, it is precisely the uniqueness of their stories and the historical situations they found themselves in that make for such fascinating reading.” Thank you @ljukic.bsky.social for this review of β€˜Silence of the Gods’!
