Cage The

Product Description

Two mysterious strangers appear at a hotel in a small country town.
Where have they come from? Who are they? What catastrophe are they fleeing?

The townspeople want answers, but the strangers are unable to speak of their trauma. And before long, wary hospitality shifts to suspicion and fear, and the care of the men slides into appalling cruelty.

Lloyd Jones's fable-like novel The Cage is a profound and unsettling novel.Two mysterious strangers appear at a hotel in a small country town.
