Description
A debut novel that vibrates with intensity, What Kingdom is a powerful exploration of the psychiatric system and its impact on young people. Through a series of intimate vignettes, Fine Grabol delves into the complexities of care and institutionalization. In this striking work, language and reality blur as the narrator discovers furniture and objects taking on lives of their own. As she navigates her daily routines with urgency, she probes the limits of her surroundings and the world around her. A searing critique of the system, What Kingdom also offers a deeply personal account of finding one's way in a chaotic world. Structured like a series of fragmented narratives, this novel thrums with the voices of its characters, each with their own unique story to tell.
