Description
Ritual 1969 is a haunting collection of stories with an elusive strand of the otherworldly, from Jerwood Prize-winning author Jo Mazelis. With settings ranging from early twentieth-century France through 1960s South Wales to contemporary Europe, and across different genres, what holds this collection together is Mazelis' singular vision and unswerving recreation of characters who are caught up in events and feelings they do not understand and cannot control.
