From the bestselling author of A Mind Spread Out on the Ground comes a mind-bending, gripping novel about Native life, motherhood and mental health that follows a young Mohawk woman who discovers that the picture-perfect life she always hoped for may have horrifying consequences.

On the surface, Alice is exactly where she should be. She's just given birth to a beautiful baby girl, Dawn; her charming husband, Steve, is nothing but supportive; and they've recently moved to a wealthy neighborhood in Toronto. And yet, Alice feels like an imposter. She isn't connecting with Dawn, a struggle made even more difficult by the recent loss of her mother, and every waking moment is spent hiding her despair from her watchful white neighbors. Her growing self-doubt hinders the one vestige of her old life she has left: her goal of writing a modern retelling of the Haudenosaunee creation story.

At first, Alice is convinced her discomfort is of her own making, but then strange things start happening. She finds herself losing bits of time, hearing voices she can't explain, and speaking with things that should not be talking back to her, all while her neighbors' passive-aggressive behavior begins to morph into something far more threatening. Though Steve assures her this is all in her head, Alice cannot fight the feeling that something is very, very wrong, and that in her creation story lies the key to her and Dawn's survival. . . . She just has to finish it before it's too late.

Told in Alice's darkly funny voice, And Then She Fell is an urgent and unflinching look at inherited trauma, womanhood, denial, and false allyship, which speeds to an unpredictable—and surreal—climax.

This story had me hooked from the beginning. It takes some dark twists and turns that kept me guessing for sure. The depths of that darkness are described so vividly - it’s definitely disturbing and unflinching in the portrayal of the protagonist’s struggles. It gets intense and almost uncomfortable at times, but I think that’s the point. The commentary on the impacts of colonization and colonial mindsets is sharp and powerful. Without spoilers - I really liked the ending too. This story is a journey that kept me thinking after I finished it. ALSO, one of THE BEST audiobook performances I’ve ever heard. The narration is SO engaging and nuanced. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this story.

What a thriller!

Elliott is an incredible storyteller. I loved how she wove the experience of a new mother, mental health, Indigenous identity, spiritual awakening, elements of horror, healing and hope into this story.
