Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon
A Black woman who escaped a brutal, isolationist religious compound seeks refuge in the woods while grappling with the physical and psychological aftereffects of abuse and secretive experiments performed on her; as her body changes in strange and powerful ways and she becomes a fierce protector of her children, she must confront predatory authorities and the violent legacies of racism, patriarchy, and forced belief. The novel mixes visceral body-horror and speculative elements with lyric prose to examine trauma, motherhood, identity, and the fight to reclaim bodily autonomy and community.
