*Now a major motion picture starring Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal*
A taut, psychological thriller from Iain Reid, тАЬone of the most talented purveyors of weird, dark narratives in contemporary fictionтАЭ (Los Angeles Review of Books).
Severe climate change has ravaged the country, leaving behind a charred wasteland. Junior and Henrietta live a comfortable if solitary life on one of the last remaining farms. Their private existence is disturbed the day a stranger comes to the door with alarming news.
Junior has been randomly selected to travel far away from the farm, but the most unusual part is that arrangements have already been made so that when he leaves, Henrietta wonтАЩt have a chance to miss him. She wonтАЩt be left aloneтАФnot even for a moment. Henrietta will have company. Familiar company.
Told in Iain ReidтАЩs sparse, biting style, Foe is a тАЬmind-bending and genre-defying work of geniusтАЭ (Liz Nugent, author of Unraveling Oliver) that will stay with you long after you turn the final page.
