About This Book

The narrative follows a young farm worker who awakens in the night to rouse a neighboring household and walk across dew-soaked fields to see a woman he loves. Sensory passages evoke wind, stars and the hush of rural nights while the protagonist rehearses hopes and insecurities. A stronger rival, whose earlier rough treatment left lingering shame, threatens that hope and sharpens his jealousy. Quiet domestic routines, social hierarchies and the tension between affection and potential violence shape a portrait of village life.
