Madame Sosostris & the Festival for the Broken-Hearted is a stunning, Booker Prize-winning Ben Okri novel that mixes mystery and magical realism. Set during a dazzling, masquerade-style festival at a chateau in the South of France, the story follows attendees—all broken-hearted and anonymous—who have one night to change their lives. The tension builds around the anticipated appearance of the legendary clairvoyant, Madame Sosostris, an homage to T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land.
