An Instant New York Times Bestseller!
βLapvona flips all the conventions of familial and parental relations, putting hatred where love should be or a negotiation where grief should be . . . Through a mix of witchery, deception, murder, abuse, grand delusion, ludicrous conversations, and cringeworthy moments of bodily disgust, Moshfegh creates a world that you definitely donβt want to live in, but from which you canβt look away.β βThe Atlantic
In a village buffeted by natural disasters, a motherless shepherd boy finds himself part of a power struggle that puts the communityβs faith to a savage test, in a spellbinding novel that represents Ottessa Moshfeghβs most exciting leap yet
Little Marek, the abused and delusional son of the village shepherd, believes his mother died giving birth to him. One of Marekβs few consolaΒtions is his enduring bond with the blind village midwife, Ina, who suckled him when he was a baby. For some people, Inaβs ability to receive transΒmissions of sacred knowledge from the natural world is a godsend. For others, Inaβs home in the woods is a godless place.
The peopleβs desperate need to believe that there are powers that be who have their best interests at heart is put to a cruel test by their depraved lord and governor, especially in this year of record drought and famine. But when fate brings Marek into violent proximity to the lordβs family, new and occult forces arise to upset the old order. By yearβs end, the veil between blindness and sight, life and death, and the natural world and the spirit world will prove to be very thin indeed.
