THE ANIMALS IN THAT COUNTRY: Laura Jean McKay
THE ANIMALS IN THAT COUNTRY
by Laura Jean McKay
Jean, a salt-of-the-earth and no-nonsense park caretaker is not your average grandma. When a virus hits, allowing victims to hear the stark and frightening speech of animals, Jean is set on her quest to find her beloved granddaughter and son in a dark and terrifying psychosomatic landscape. McKay’s debut novel is an incredible study in linguistic prowess and a deeply affecting tale.
