One of our best American writers, Lauren Groff returns with her exhilarating first new novel since the groundbreaking "Fates and Furies."

Equally alive to the sacred and the profane, it gathers currents of violence, sensuality, and religious ecstasy in a mesmerizing portrait of consuming passion, aberrant faith, and a woman that history moves both through and around. It is a defiant and timely exploration of the raw power of female creativity in a corrupted world.
