The Discomfort of Evening by Marieke Lucas Rijneveld

I asked God if he please couldn't take my brother Matthies instead of my rabbit. 'Amen'.

Ten year old Jas has a unique way of experiencing her universe: the feeling of udder ointment on her skin as protection against harsh farmyard winters; the texture of green warts, like capers, on migrating toads; the sound of 'blush words' that aren't in the Bible. But when a tragic accident ruptures the family, her curiosity warps into a wild vortex of disturbing fantasies - unlocking a darkness that threatens to derail them all.

Winner of the 2020 International Booker Prize.

Good condition.
