Description
A mysterious figure is discovered sleeping in a church, sparking an investigation into their identity and intentions. As the townspeople try to uncover the truth about this enigmatic individual, known only as 'Pew', they are faced with difficult questions about how to treat someone who refuses to speak. The town's inability to categorize Pew - as orphan or something more sinister - leads to a breakdown in social norms and a sense of unease. This foreboding tale explores the complexities of our modern world, where borders and boundaries are increasingly blurred. Catherine Lacey's thought-provoking novel is a provocative fable that challenges readers to confront their own fears and anxieties.
