Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh

5.0

I just finished this and I'm still reeling. I cannot believe how absorbed I was in this tale of a shepard's boy and his village. I'm not a stranger to Moshfegh's writing, I love her: the cruel streak, the ugliness of life, and the complete lack of joy in her writing (squee! I love how she sees the world). There are things that happen in this story that had me throwing the book on the ground yelling, that did NOT just happen. There were other things that just turned my stomach. I just went on a trip through a range of emotions.
