Well this was stunning. I suppose folk horror is the closest genre but at the same time doesn't fit it at all. It's dark and ignores all the western storytelling rules and is incredibly immersive #lapvona

She had saved her old eyes, her original ones...When she had first removed them, she had to say goodbye to many of the memories she'd had. But she was not a sentimental woman. Her new eyes didn't know who she had been. And so she was new to herself…

My review of #Lapvona:

I’ve continued my book giveaway with Lapvona, a fable that reflects on the petty tyrants of the modern day through a fictional feudal society. It’s a must read. #booksky #lapvona

#Lapvona #เมืองคนบาป — นิยาย medieval period ที่พูดถึงเด็กชายพิกลพิการกับชะตาชีวิตชวนให้เวทนาเพราะโตมากับพ่อคลั่งศาสนา ชะตากรรมบัดซบ และคนวิปริตรอบกาย แต่กลับเป็นนิยายที่ไม่ทำให้รู้สึกเห็นใจใคร ไม่แม้กระทั่งกับตัวเอกของเรื่อง #BerryRead

This book was disturbing, a bit disgusting, very dark, made me sad, and I LOVED it. I read it in a day and have not stopped thinking about it. #lapvona #books #ottessamoshfegh
