Beschreibung

<p><b>The cult classic novel from the 2026 Booker-longlisted author of <i>The End of Everything</i></b><br><br><b>With an introduction by </b><b>bestselling author of <i>Our Wives Under the Sea,</i></b><b> Julia Armfield</b><br><br><b>'A more grown-up version of <i>The Secret History</i>' LUCY SCHOLES</b><br><b>'A groundbreaking work' <i>GUARDIAN </i></b><br><b>'The best literary fiction out now' <i>DAILY MAIL </i></b><br><b>'Gloriously intelligent and beautifully written' <i>INDEPENDENT </i></b><br><br>On a hot May night, three Cambridge students carry out a ritualistic act that changes their lives. Decades later, none of the participants can remember what transpired; but their clouded memories bind them together. Unable to move on, Pam Stuyvesant has epilepsy and is plagued by sensual visions. Her husband Lucas believes that a dwarfish creature is stalking him, and invents histories to soothe Pam's fears. Self-styled Sorcerer Yaxley becomes obsessed with a terrifyingly transcendent reality. The narrator is seemingly the least effected participant in the ritual: he is haunted by the smell of roses, and his guilt as he attempts to help his friends escape the torment that has engulfed their lives. <br><br>Strange, dreamlike and moving, <i>The Course of the Heart </i>is an examination of the edges of humanity where we lie, hide, hurt and heal.<br><br><b>'A spare textual elegance and closure-denying restraint that impresses and fulfils' IAIN BANKS</b></p>
