FINALIST FOR THE GOVERNOR GENERALâS LITERARY AWARDS
The author of the âevocative, spine-tingling, and razor-sharpâ (Bustle) Iâm Thinking of Ending Things that inspired the Netflix original movie and the âshort, shocking psychological three-handerâ (The Guardian) Foe returns with a new work of philosophical suspense.
Penny, an artist, has lived in the same apartment for decades, surrounded by the artifacts and keepsakes of her long life. She is resigned to the mundane rituals of old age, until things start to slip. Before her longtime partner passed away years earlier, provisions were made, unbeknownst to her, for a room in a unique long-term care residence, where Penny finds herself after one too many âincidents.â
Initially, surrounded by peers, conversing, eating, sleeping, looking out at the beautiful woods that surround the house, all is well. She even begins to paint again. But as the days start to blur together, Pennyâwith a growing sense of unrest and distrustâstarts to lose her grip on the passage of time and on her place in the world. Is she succumbing to the subtly destructive effects of aging, or is she an unknowing participant in something more unsettling?
At once compassionate and uncanny, told in spare, hypnotic prose, Iain Reidâs genre-defying third novel explores questions of conformity, art, productivity, relationships, and what, ultimately, it means to grow old.
