Description
Set in a world blanketed by snow as the result of an environmental disaster, Wivenhoe explores complicity, love, loyalty and the boundaries of human instinct.
A young man is found brutally murdered in the middle of the snowed-in village of Wivenhoe. Over his body stands another man, axe in hand. The gathered villagers must deal with the consequences of an act that no one tried to stop. Wivenhoe is set in an alternate present, in a world that is slowly waking up to the fact that it is living through an environmental disaster. Taking place over twenty-four hours and told through the voices of a mother and her adult son, we see how one small community reacts to social breakdown and isolation.
Commentaires
"Quiet, fable-like menace radiates from every page of Wivenhoe. Elegant and searching, it asks vital questions about what it means to be part of a community—about integrity, belonging, and how darkness can go unchecked when isolation and suspicion sets in—questions that now feel more relevant than ever." (Sophie Mackintosh)
