Set in a fictional medieval fiefdom hit by drought and famine, Lapvona follows Marek, a disfigured shepherd boy, as he gets swept into a power struggle involving the village's corrupt lord, Villiam. Through shifting perspectives, Moshfegh examines faith, class, cruelty, and the lies people tell themselves to survive. It's a strange, savage, and strikingly original read that critics have compared to a fairy tale rewritten by Margaret Atwood.
