'Forged from the deepest and truest stories about the perversity of the body, the sheer drama of the natural world, and the vengeful side of the divine. A fecund and daring book' -- Catherine Lacey 'Irene Solà is unlike any other writer - she storms her own path, setting fire to all our preconceived notions of what a novel can do while she goes. I adored this book' -- Daisy Johnson 'A heady, exhilarating, compact tale that seems as old as the Catalan mountains and as fresh as a newly plucked chicken... Solà beautifully aligns past and present... Exuding a kind of alt-magical realism, the novel refuses to distinguish between bewitcher and bewitched: this is its triumph' * Financial Times *
