Rijneveld, Marieke Lucas

Discomfort of evening - London: Faber & Faber, 2020. - 282 p. ; pb, 20 cm.

Jas lives with her devout farming family in the rural Netherlands. One winter's day, her older brother joins an ice skating trip; resentful at being left alone, she makes a perverse plea to God; he never returns. As grief overwhelms the farm, Jas succumbs to a vortex of increasingly disturbing fantasies, watching her family disintegrate into a darkness that threatens to derail them all.
