Soon after her arrival, a series of inexplicable events occurs - collective bovine hysteria; the demise of a ewe and her nearly born lamb; a local dog's phantom pregnancy; a potato blight. She notices that the local suspicion about incomers in general seems to be directed with some intensity at her and she senses a mounting threat that lies 'just beyond the garden gate.' And as she feels the hostility growing, pressing at the edges of her brother's property, she fears that, should the rumblings in the town gather themselves into a more defined shape, who knows what might happen, what one mightbe capable of doing. With a sharp, lyrical voice, Sarah Bernstein powerfully explores questions of complicity and power, displacement and inheritance. Study for Obedience is a finely tuned, unsettling novel that confirms Bernstein as one of the most exciting voices of her generation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Brothers and sisters $v Fiction. $9 80667 650 0 $a Housekeepers $v Fiction. $9 90869 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft $9 86212 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft $9 200624 775 08 $i Reproduction of (manifestation): 775 08 $a Bernstein, Sarah (Literature teacher). $t Study for obedience $d London : Granta Books, 2023 $z 9781783789931 941 $a 5 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240402013537.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240302010405.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012452.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240104012109.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20231003010442.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=373A8BAE61B211EE96A426B62DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
