The Inevitable

"Never has death, violence, and destruction felt so quiet. Within the pages of The Inevitable, Jade Lascelles gives power to the minute observation of the quotidian. Through luminous and crystalline prose, each detail builds upon the other like a pile of dead and dusty moths in a windowsill or a spark that catches a dry leaf that sets everything on fire. These subtly connected narratives provide a lucid understanding of what it means to observe one's own transformation-one that is redolent with the terrible beauty inevitable from such an experience. These are stories that linger and hum with enchantment."
