Das Gift by Samanta Schweblin
A tense, hallucinatory novella narrated as an urgent conversation between a frightened woman and a child, in which she pieces together a series of strange illnesses, deaths and disappearances in her rural community and traces them to invisible, toxic forces linked to modern agriculture; memory, guilt and maternal fear collide as the boundary between explanation and nightmare dissolves, leaving readers with a lingering sense of ecological menace and moral ambiguity.
