Exequy

by Mark Clendon

Inconsolably grieving, a woman searches for her missing son. A witch insists her son is not dead, cruelly sustaining her hope of finding him alive. Enraged and desperate, refusing to attend her husband’s funeral, she stays in the mountains until the discovery of a coat belonging to the missing boy sets in motion the forces of retribution. Set over three days in the Carpathian Mountains in remote antiquity, Exequy explores bereavement without the benefit of a funeral, telling how a woman’s grief all but destroys her, and how love eventually saves her.
