Spring is ostensibly around the corner, but while the weather is this terrible – and the coronavirus epidemic continues to rage – staying in with a good novel seems like the only way forward. Here, BritishVogue's favourite page-turners to devour now:
Nobody writes a morbid contemporary anti-heroine quite like Ottessa Moshfegh. Take the protagonist of her cult novel, a beautiful Columbia grad who decides to sedate herself in her Upper East Side apartment for a full 12 months, with a little help from her nutty psychiatrist Dr Tuttle.
Her latest release, meanwhile, begins with its widowed narrator Vesta finding a note in a birch forest: “Her name was Magda. Nobody will ever know who killed her. It wasn’t me. Here is her dead body.” Cue Vesta beginning her own investigation into Magda’s fate – triggering a darkly funny existential crisis in the process.
