But something is wrong - not with<BR>them, but with her own body. It's changing, it's itching, it's stronger, it's... not<BR>normal.<BR><BR><BR>To understand her body's metamorphosis, Vern must investigate not just the<BR>secluded religious compound she fled but the violent history of dehumanization,<BR>medical experimentation, and genocide that produced it. In the course of<BR>reclaiming her own darkness, Vern learns that monsters aren't just individuals,<BR>but entire histories, systems, and nations.<BR><BR><BR>Sorrowland is a memorable work of Gothic fiction that wrestles with the tangled<BR>history of racism in America and the marginalisation of society's undesirables. It<BR>is a searing, seminal book that marks the arrival of a bold, unignorable voice in<BR>American fiction.
