SUMMARY:MAY Book Club - Wife Shaped Bodies
DESCRIPTION:The GHOULISH BOOK CLUB continues with May’s pick: Wife Shaped Bodies by Laura Cranehill \nSorrowland meets Manhunt in this literary horror debut in which an isolated newlywed—covered in mushroom growths like all the other wives in her community—strikes a precarious balance between following her husband’s strict rules and pursuing an intense connection with a woman who makes her question everything. \nForbidden from leaving her house from girlhood until marriage\, Nicole has only her mother’s lessons and what she can see from her bedroom window to draw on in forming her view of the world\, and of herself. Taught that the mushrooms which cover the women in her village are repulsive and dangerous\, she conforms to a rigid set of rules to protect herself and those around her. \nWhen her wedding day arrives\, Nicole moves from one prison to another—an empty mansion on the very outskirts of town belonging to the husband she’s been promised to since birth. As she haunts the edges of Silas’s unknowable life and decaying home\, maintaining control over her own transforming body becomes increasingly impossible. And when another wife with rebellious tendencies pays Nicole an unexpected visit\, something within her cracks open. Their furtive explorations yield confusing answers\, unearthing the long-buried secrets of the generations of resentful brides that came before. Unmoored\, angry\, and at last awakened\, Nicole must reckon with who she really is\, and perhaps\, give in to what she truly wants. \nRaw\, visceral\, and relentless\, Wife Shaped Bodies is an exploration of gender\, power\, and community through the lens of mycological body horror and an ode to the unsettling beauty of the natural world. \nCopies are in stock at our shop (10% off)!
