Land of the Well
Land of the Well

Dark bildungsroman of friendship and psychological depth.

If you're into stories that explore the intense coming-of-age themes blended with psychological twists, "Land of the Well" might just be for you. Capturing the brooding atmosphere of Goa's monsoons, it delves into the chaos of youth, the desperate need for acceptance, and the haunting journey of self-discovery. It's a novel that doesn't just tell a story, it immerses you in the protagonist's inner turmoil and the treacherous path to understanding one's own mind.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

It is Goa in the monsoons. A shy and lonely teenager finds himself drawn towards a group of holidaymakers. In their midst is Momo, the woman he would do anything to be close to. As if sensing his willingness, the group spends the day testing him before pronouncing him worthy of their friendship and their disclosures about themselves. Challenged by his new-found friends to provide an answer to the riddle of their condition, the boy tells them the story of the Land of the Well. Expecting praise and further acceptance, he is horrified when the outcome is an alienation more extreme than he has ever faced before. A novel that examines this age of anxiety, wherein the bodies of the young and successful break down in ways that mirror their innermost traumas, Land of the Well walks the line between reality and delusion, between treachery and trust.
