Description
The Discomfort of Evening by Marieke Lucas Rijneveld A haunting and deeply unsettling novel, The Discomfort of Evening is a powerful exploration of the complexities of human experience. Ten-year-old Jas's unique way of perceiving the world is shattered when a tragic accident occurs, sending her into a vortex of increasingly disturbing fantasies that threaten to derail her family. Lucas Rijneveld's radical debut novel is a world of language unlike any other, exquisitely captured in Michele Hutchison's translation. With its vivid imagery and unflinching honesty, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever struggled to make sense of the world around them. A beautifully wild and unsettling read, The Discomfort of Evening is a novel that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
