When the bridegroom, having grown to manhood, arrives to claim his bride, he is welcomed by the mother, who shows him a room where he can sleep and recover from his journey. While he sleeps, his betrothed slips into his room and wakes him. While they consummate their marriage, the bridegroom makes a horrifying and macabre discovery....

A wonderful book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found this book relatable and generally intelligent. I found wonderful and full relation with the protagonist and I further highly recommend this book.

A fantastic book
