I Gave You Eyes and You Looked Toward Darkness

One of my favourite contemporary authors—no one is writing quite like Solà. When the matriarch of the Mas Clavell household strikes a deal with the devil, it triggers centuries of repercussions for her family. We weave between generations of these women, all coping with the complexities of family life, the dangers of the wild Catalonian landscape, and the raucous, cackling ghosts of those who came before. Gorgeously, richly written and imbued with spiritual secrets rooted in Catalonian tradition, this is a mesmerising, disorientating feat of literary horror.
