Description
Darkly witty and deeply moving, Jackie Polzin's Brood is a startlingly original debut novel about motherhood, marriage, and grief. Over the course of a single year, our nameless narrator struggles to keep her small flock of four chickens alive despite the seemingly endless challenges that caring for another creature entails.
As she battles predators, bad luck, and the uncertainty of a future that may not look anything like the one she always imagined, she must also confront her own recent loss. From the brutal Minnesota winter to the sweltering summer which brings a surprise tornado, our narrator faces each challenge with unrelenting hope.
