FINALIST FOR THE WRITERS' TRUST FICTION PRIZE A GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOK The perfect next read for fans of Ottessa Moshfegh and George Saunders, an electrifying debut about a woman who is transformed into a real life "flesh-and-blood Wailing Wall" as strangers unburden their sins to her at every turn. Lucy is a lapsed Catholic whose adolescent pretensions to sainthood are unexpectedly revived following the disturbing deathbed confession of her cousin Zoltán. Afterwards, Lucy becomes a magnet for the unshriven, and she's transformed into a self-described "flesh-and-blood Wailing Wall" as strangers unburden themselves to her. Lucy finds herself addicted to these dark stories, craving hit after hit.      As the confessions pile up, Lucy begins to wonder if Zoltán's death was as random and unscripted as it appeared. She clutches at alarming synchronicities and seeks meaning from the strangers' stories, wondering why they seem connected to each other and eerily echo elements of her own life.      With ruthless wit and dizzying energy, The Beguiling explores blessings and curses, sainthood and sin, mortality and guilt in all its guises. Weaving together tales of errant mothers, vengeful plants, canine wisdom, and murder, this electrifying debut novel lays bare the sacrifices some are willing to make to get what they think they desire.…
