🎁🎄 DEAD INK ADVENT DAY 22 🎄🎁 Harriet is Dead Ink's publishing manager, also known as the person who makes the magic happen, and has the most well dressed cats who will almost certainly have Christmas outfits planned. Harriet's book of the year is THE COUNTRY WILL BRING US NO PEACE by Mathieu Sinard, a French novella about the aftermath of grief translated by Pablo Strauss. A couple having trouble conceiving leave the city behind for what they hope to be an idyllic village; but is a place soaked in tragedy, where the birds won't sing, and people have started disappearing. Surreal and atmospheric, this beautifully bleak little book perfectly encapsulates the quiet horror of being human. #deadinkadvent2023 #bookadventcalendar #booksoftheyear #favouritebooks #bookrecommendations #translatedfiction #bookrecs #shortbooks
