Her village life is order-ed and calm, until one day the sudden vision of a man's face sears itself onto her mind's eye, an imprint of sensual, hypnotic power. She begins to paint fragmented images of Mathew Pearson, secretly and obsessively. But Mathew Pearson has a wife, a small, laughing, preg-nant creature, whom Bethesda's mother befriends. On the stillest day Bethesda performs an act so bold and violent that it shatters all their lives - she performs a very bloody and risky emergency caesarean on Mathew's wife, using a piece of mirror glass, to deliver a baby daughter, leaving the mother dead. The Stillest Day is an exquisitely taut and shocking novel about a young woman at the turn of the century who transgresses - both in life and in art - the limits set down for her.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67910077677856,"sku":"NEW0879517271","price":150.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71nM2JlJh1L_a51c1d17-5369-41c6-ae37-0a8e8103d672.jpg?v=1792631175","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-stillest-day-0879517271","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
