Step into seventeenth-century Denmark through Olga Ravn's haunting masterpiece. A woman crafts a wax child—a silent witness to her unraveling world as whispers of witchcraft threaten to consume her. Ravn, hailed by The Telegraph as Europe's strangest and finest young novelist, weaves a mesmerising tale rooted in a real witch trial, where suspicion becomes inescapable and magic feels devastatingly real. This is visceral, unsettling storytelling that lingers in the mind long after the final page. Praised by Max Porter as "just brilliant" and by Jeff VanderMeer as "an instant classic," The Wax Child showcases why Ravn stands among today's most original and acclaimed voices.
