An actress's twelve-year-old daughter begins speaking in tongues and displaying impossible strength. The only explanation is the one no rational person will accept.
About This Book
A young girl becomes possessed by the devil and causes several violent deaths before she can be cured.
Who This Is For
Best for readers who want something unflinching: morally complex, heavy, and honest about the worst of things. The writing rewards attention without being demanding, a good balance of depth and readability. The pacing is balanced, time to breathe between moments that matter. Not the right choice if you're after something comforting or redemptive.
Best Read When
Best read when you're in the mood for something dark and uncompromising, and a read that's balanced and absorbing.
What It Explores
The Exorcist explores survival and what extreme circumstances ask of people, family in all its complexity — inherited and chosen, and identity and the gap between who we are and who we pretend to be.
