Fervour

THERE ARE NO RELIABLE NARRATORS IN THIS HOUSE... Hannah and Eric are a successful couple living in North London with their three children and Eric's ageing father, Yosef. A family of devout Jews, they believe in the literal truth of the Old Testament and in the presence of God (and evil) in our daily lives. But the death of Yosef fractures the family's apparent harmony. As Hannah prepares to publish an account of her father-in-law's life - unearthing unsettling secrets of his time in the camps - Elsie, the family's perfect daughter, starts to come undone. And then she disappears, plunging her parents and siblings into a living nightmare. When she returns, just as mysteriously as she left, she is altered in disturbing ways. Witnessing the complete transformation of her daughter, Hannah begins to suspect Elsie has delved too deep into the mysteries of Jewish occult and got lost in the shadows. But for Tovyah, Elsie's brother, now a brilliant student at Oxford, the truth is much simpler: his sister is the product of a dysfunctional family, obsessed with empty rituals and unbridled ambition. But who is right? And how can they stop the darkness from engulfing Elsie forever?
