Perfect for you if...

  • You're drawn to slow-burn literary fiction that rewards close reading and doesn't rush to easy answers about faith or forgiveness.
  • You appreciate novels set in isolated, austere landscapes where the external world mirrors internal turmoil.
  • You've read and loved Charlotte Wood's previous work and want more of her unflinching exploration of grief and human resilience.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer fast-paced plots with clear resolutions and don't enjoy meditative pacing that prioritises atmosphere over action.
  • You're looking for uplifting stories about spiritual awakening or redemption through faith.
  • You want escapism and lightness rather than a novel that sits with despair and the weight of old secrets.

About this book

Shortlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize, this novel by Charlotte Wood explores forgiveness, grief, and what it means to be good. A burnt-out middle-aged woman leaves Sydney to return to her childhood home, seeking refuge in a small religious community on the stark plains of rural Australia. Though she doesn't believe in God and has no experience with prayer, she finds herself living this strange, reclusive existence almost by accident. Her secluded life is interrupted by three significant events: a severe mouse plague that requires daily battle against the rising infestation; the discovery of skeletal remains belonging to a sister who disappeared decades before and was presumed murdered; and the arrival of a troubling visitor who draws her further into her past. The novel examines what it means to retreat from the world, the nature of forgiveness, and how grief affects the human soul.
