Marieke Lucas Rijneveld

Marieke Lucas Rijneveld's books are literary fiction. The Discomfort of the Evening follows Jas, a ten-year-old growing up in a rural farming family, whose sharp attention to textures, sounds and words turns darker after a tragedy hits the household. The novel looks at grief, faith and the way a child's mind makes sense of loss. My Heavenly Favorite is a second work of literary fiction.
