Description
At an elite American college, Phoebe finds herself struggling with grief and guilt when she is drawn into the orbit of a charismatic religious group with radical beliefs. Her involvement unsettles Will, a fellow student whose love for her becomes inseparable from his need to understand what happened—and where she has gone. As their fractured perspectives reveal the consequences of faith, fanaticism, and unresolved loss, the novel explores the seductive power of belief and the ways people seek meaning in the aftermath of trauma. Lyrical, psychologically intense, and formally daring, it is a haunting portrait of obsession, extremism, and redemption.
