For readers weary of literary fiction that dutifully obeys the laws of nature, heres a story that stirs the Brothers Grimm and Salvador Dali with its claws . . . as gorgeous as it is devastating.The Washington PostIn this epic, mythical debut novel, a newlywed couple escapes the busy confusion of their homeland for a distant and almostuninhabited lakeshore. They plan to live there simply, to fish the lake, to trap the nearby woods, and build a house upon the dirt where they can raise a family. But as their every pregnancy fails, the childobsessed husband begins to rage at this new world: the songspun objects somehow created by his wife's beautiful singing voice, the giant and sentient bear that rules the beasts of the woods, the second moon weighing down the fabric of their starless sky, and the labyrinth of memory dug into the earth beneath their house.This novel, from one of our most exciting young writers, is a powerful exploration of the limits of parenthood and marriageand of what happens when a marriages success is measured solely by the children it produces, or else the sorrow that marks their absence.
