Inland

by Tea Obreht

Set against the backdrop of the desolate Arizona Territory in 1893, 'Inland' weaves a captivating tale of grief, hope, and survival. Nora, the stoic homesteader, endures the relentless drought as she pines for the men in her life: her absent husband, who seeks water for their parched land, and her missing sons, lost after a fierce argument. Meanwhile, Lurie, a man on the fringes of life, finds himself beleaguered by the ghosts of those who passed unrestfully. Their haunting presences driven by desires unmet, Lurie's encounters with these apparitions guide him through the unforgiving West. As Nora and Lurie's paths converge, a story emerges shaped by the yearning to reclaim the unfulfilled, the power of belief in the face of hardship, and the transformative journeys that define the American mythos.
