Apricity: A Novella

In a quiet village, life follows the same rhythms it always has, until a boy suddenly falls ill.

​

At first, it is easy to explain. Then it is not.

​

As more signs emerge, a midwife begins to sense what others do not. A scholar reaches for language that does not hold. Families move through their days, adjusting in small ways as something unseen takes hold.

​

Apricity is a luminous and atmospheric novella set in fourteenth-century England, tracing the early spread of a great illness through the quiet, human moments that unfold in its shadow.
