The Seventh Mansion by Maryse Meijer
In this haunting and evocative tale, a young boy named Xie embarks on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening after encountering the relics of a Catholic saint in a nearby forest. As he becomes increasingly obsessed with the saint's bones, Xie's life intertwines with the natural world, leading him to question the boundaries between the sacred and the profane, life and death, and the human and the non-human. Through his interactions with the forest and its inhabitants, Xie navigates the complexities of faith, love, and identity, ultimately confronting the profound mysteries of existence.
