Cursed Bread

Sophie Mackintosh delivers a sensuous, unsettling novel loosely inspired by a real poisoning in 1950s France. The narration is hypnotic and eerie, blurring the lines between desire, envy, and collective hysteria. Mackintosh excels at atmosphere, creating a world that feels both dreamlike and claustrophobic. The novel explores power and longing with poetic precision. It’s the kind of story that lingers in the mind long after you finish.
