The critically acclaimed debut novel from the T.S. Eliot
Prize-shortlisted poet -- Frances is a graduate student spending a
summer volunteering in rural France, in the hope that tending
vegetables and harvesting honey will distract her from a scandal
that drove her out of Paris, her research unfinished and her sense
of self unmoored. At the eco-farm Noa Noa, she comes under the
influence of its charismatic and domineering owner, Paul. As his
hold over her tightens and her plans come unstuck, she finds
herself entangled in a strange, uneven relationship. On a fraught
road trip across the South of France, both are forced to reckon
with uncomfortable truths. A compelling and perturbing story of
power, passivity and the cage of being 'good', Paul introduces a
novelist of extraordinary perspicacity and lyricism.
