A thousand years from now, it will serenely lie underwater. However, in the present reality, the farm is a breeding ground of lust and resentment, as Ginny has recently cheated on her husband with the man who lives next door. As a crowd of locals, including Ginny's bitter sister Ella, arrives to assist on the farm, a day of chores swiftly transforms into a night of heavy drinking and brutal communal retribution. By morning, Ginny is left for dead. However, death is not the end for her. Armed with a stolen horse and rifle, she flees into the mountains, and a small group of her tormentors sets out to pursue her—to bring her home and beg forgiveness, or to ensure she disappears forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis novel takes readers on a captivating journey through time, space, myth, and the minds of a pack of philosophical mules.
