Accommodations - Paperback

by Wioletta Greg (Author), Jennifer Croft (Translator)

A continuation of her Man Booker-nominated debut, Accommodations is Swallowing Mercury all grown up

Accommodations follows Wiola after she leaves her childhood village, a close-knit agricultural community in Poland where the Catholic calendar and local gossip punctuate daily life. Her new independence in the nearby city of Czestochowa is far from a fresh start, as she moves between a hostel and a nuns' convent brimming with secrets, taking in the stories of those around her. In the same striking prose that drew readers to her critically acclaimed debut, Accommodations navigates Wiola's winding path to self-discovery.
