The Discomfort of Evening – Marieke Lucas Rijneveld

WINNER OF THE MAN INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 2020!

Jas lives with her devout farming family in the rural Netherlands. One winter’s day, her older brother joins an ice-skating trip; resentful at being left alone, she makes a plea to God; he never returns. As grief overwhelms the farm, Jas succumbs to a vortex of disturbing fantasies. A radical reading experience that will leave you changed forever.
