Voracious follows a year in the life of a young woman caring for her dying grandmother in the company of her grandfather, her friend, and animals. The novel is set in a small village which echoes with noises from the nearby abattoir and which is threatened by a landslide. The grandfather is renovating a room for his wife while the women care for one another, for the plants, and for the animals. Malgorzata Lebda guides us through the countryside, the changing  seasons, wildlife, illness, death, and love. Everything is at once fragile and full of life, animate and inanimate. Full of profound emotional truths, this book signals the arrival of a new international talent.
