Study for Obedience by Sarah Bernstein
A powerful, compressed masterwork that explores questions of complicity, power and devotion - from one of Granta magazine's Best of Young British Novelists 2023
Study for Obedience is a fully absorbing, beautiful and sinister portrait of becoming and unbelonging, of violence held in time and place, that enriches the reader's habitation of the world's intelligibility and its darkness -- David Hayden
Sarah Bernstein manages to combine cool, perfectly weighted prose with an extraordinary emotional sensibility -- Fiona Mozley
Sarah Bernstein's Study for Obedience is at once a languid and sometimes harrowing journey into the truth of human animals living in a small community and the need for a woman to give voice to the strange and beautiful cruelties of lifeThis is a unique novel that is primal and eerie, where language creates silence and vivid images reflect a kind of earthiness where our most intimate selves live. The wide praise for Bernstein's remarkable writing is well earned -- Asale Angel-Ajani, author of A Country You Can Leave
