Story4 out of 5 stars 629
Little Marek, the abused and delusional son of the village shepherd, believes his mother died giving birth to him. One of Marek’s few consolations is his enduring bond with the blind village midwife, Ina, who suckled him when he was a baby. For some people, Ina’s ability to receive transmissions of sacred knowledge from the natural world is a godsend. For others, Ina’s home in the woods is a godless place.

Good read
Reviewed: 05-20-23
I was recommended this book for the horror and unsettling elements, they were there but very underwhelming compared to the hype I got from those who read it. Wish I didn’t start the book thinking it was going to be super scary and uncomfortable.
