About This Item
Mass Market Paperback. Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd. | 2024 | Mass Market Paperback | 240 p. | This book is brand new. | Language: Engelska --- Information regarding the book: GRANTA BEST OF YOUNG BRITISH NOVELISTS From the Booker Prize-nominated author of The Water Cure comes a chilling new feminist fable based on the true story of an unsolved mystery . . . 'A shimmering fever-dream of a novel' Telegraph 'A dreamy sapphic romp' The Times 'Gauzy [and] gripping, a quietly rich maturation of Mackintosh's skill' Guardian Audacious and mesmerising, Cursed Bread is a darkly erotic tale of a town gripped by madness, envy like poison in the blood, and desire that burns and consumes. Elodie is the baker's wife: plain, unremarkable and unappreciated, she is desperate to escape her dull, small-town life. One day a charismatic new couple appear in the neighbourhood and Elodie quickly falls under their spell. All summer long she stalks them through the shining streets: inviting herself into their home, eavesdropping on their conversations, longing to possess them. Meanwhile, beneath the tranquil surface of daily life, strange things are happening. The animals expire in the fields for no reason. Ghosts are sighted after dark. A dark intoxication is spreading through the town, and when Elodie finally understands her role in it, it will be too late to stop. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery.
