Produktbeschreibung

A claustrophobic story of desire and small town unease in the vein of Dogville or Coetzee's Disgrace. Fleeing from past mistakes, Nat leaves her life in the city for the rural village of La Escapa. She rents a small house from a negligent landlord, adopts a dog and begins to work on her first literary translation. But nothing is easy: the dog is ill tempered and skittish and misunderstandings with her neighbour's thrum below the surface. When conflict arises over repairs to her house, Nat receives an unusual offer - one that tests her sense of self, challenges her prejudices, and reveals her most unexpected desires. As Nat tries to understand her decision, the community of La Escapa comes together in search of a scapegoat.
