In Conversation with C Pam Zhang
Grieving and guilt-ridden, Phoebe is drawn into a secretive cult founded by a charismatic former student with an enigmatic past. There she meets Will, a misfit scholarship boy waiting tables to get by.
When the group commits a violent act in the name of faith, Will finds himself struggling to confront a new version of the fanaticism he’s worked so hard to escape.
Haunting and intense, The Incendiaries is a fractured love story that explores what can befall those who lose what they love most.
