About this book
“The Discomfort of Evening” is a powerful first novel by Marieke Lucas Rijneveld. It tells the story of Jas, a 10-year-old girl living on a dairy farm in the Netherlands with her devout Christian family.
The narrative takes a dark turn when Jas’s brother Matthies tragically dies in an ice-skating accident, leading to a mental health crisis within the family. The novel delves into themes reminiscent of Jan Wolkers’ work and has sparked debate due to its explicit portrayal of animal cruelty and adolescent sexuality. First published in 2018, it was awarded the International Booker Prize in 2020.
