In Lapvona, bestselling author Ottessa Moshfegh delivers a haunting, genre-defying medieval tale where power, belief, and nature collide. Set in a drought-stricken village plagued by famine and fear, the story follows Marek, a lonely shepherd boy with a dark past and a delusional father. Raised by the mystical, blind midwife Ina—who can commune with nature and spirit alike—Marek’s quiet life is shattered when he becomes entangled with the sadistic lord Villiam and the corrupt priest Father Barnabas.
As social order crumbles and the villagers cling desperately to faith, mystical and sinister forces blur the lines between the natural and supernatural. Themes of suffering, control, and spiritual reckoning unfold in this gothic, provocative novel that challenges perceptions of good, evil, and divine justice.
Perfect for readers who enjoy literary fiction with dark spiritual undertones, Lapvona is a mesmerizing exploration of fate, power, and the thin veil separating the living from the beyond.
