Beschreibung

Something terrible has happened. <br><br>In a mysterious apartment filled with ghosts, our unnamed narrator attempts to explain this to her child - how do I talk about this? she wonders. <br><br>The truth must become something beautiful. We must begin with a fairy tale. <br><br>And so she begins to construct a beautiful fairy tale for her child - one that begins with a strange baby boy whose nails grow too fast and whose skin smells of soil. As he grows from a boy into a man, a plague seems to follow him everywhere. Tragedy strikes in cycles - and wife after wife, death after death, plague after plague, every woman he touches becomes a ghost. These ghosts call out desperately to our narrator as she tries to explain, in the very real world, exactly what has happened to her. <br> <br>And they all agree on one thing, an inescapable truth about this man, this powerful lord who has loved them and led them each to ruin: <br><br>If you leave, you die. But if you die, you stay.<br><br>A debut novel as emotionally poignant as it is fiercely smart, Sour Cherry is an arresting debut examining toxic masculinity through its chorus of women - deconstructing the idea of what makes someone a monster.
