Lapvona
Moshfegh, Ottessa
In the medieval village of Lapvona, little Marek lives in abject poverty with his widowed, devout and aggressive father Jude. Lame, with a deformed face and a distorted conception of reality, Marek only finds comfort in his fear of God and in his visits to Ina, an old woman with hidden knowledge who lives far from the world. When a violent death places him at the epicenter of palace life, Marek becomes a true aristocrat within the court of the corrupt and self-absorbed feudal lord who rules Lapvona. However, his new status will be threatened by the arrival of a mysterious pregnant woman with features suspiciously similar to his.
