Description
A haunting debut novel inspired by the medieval poem of the same name, Pearl is a story of grief, abandonment, and consolation. When Marianne's mother goes missing, she is left to cope with the aftermath, clinging to memories of her childhood and the love they shared.
As Marianne struggles to adjust to her new reality, she becomes fixated on her mother's disappearance and the secrets she's sure her father is keeping from her. Discovering a medieval poem called Pearl, she sets out to create a visual illustration of it, a task that she returns to over and over but somehow never manages to complete.
As Marianne's childhood home begins to crumble, the past leads her down a path of self-destruction. But can art heal her, and will her own future as a mother help her find peace?
