Description
At the beginning of June, the river floods, bringing unexpected changes to the village. Ducks swim through the drawing-room windows, and Ebin Willoweed rows his daughters round the submerged garden. But the flood is only the beginning of the village's troubles.
A mysterious virus spreads, causing the villagers to fall ill and die one by one. As the situation worsens, the newspaper asks about the next victim of the fatal madness. Barbara Comyns' unique voice weaves a text that is both wonderful and horrible, beautiful and cruel.
Originally published in England in 1954, this overlooked small masterpiece is a twisted pandemic tragicomic gem. A haunting and unsettling read, it is a worthwhile read for those who enjoy literary fiction and are looking for a thought-provoking story.
