Description
In a world where belief can be both refuge and weapon, an ordinary life is upended by the arrival of a “homemade” faith—crafted from need, rumor, and longing. As the community gathers around this new idea, the story follows the people drawn in by hope and the ones who fear what devotion might demand, testing love, loyalty, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. With Rachel Joyce’s signature blend of warmth and sharp psychological insight, the novel explores how gods are made—by individuals and by societies—and what it costs when conviction becomes contagious. Part intimate character study and part thought-provoking fable, it asks whether meaning is something we discover, something we invent, or something we risk losing.
