Brezhat is a multi-timeline novella set in a single building appearing in three distinct forms: a school that records students' dreams, an orphanage that operates a glass factory, and a post-apocalyptic ruin squatted by eccentric survivors. The novel follows three incarnations of the same character, who live at different times, and occasionally cross paths with one another, sharing physical sensations, dreams, and experiences.

Mentoring--or possibly misleading--the characters is a cast of idiosyncratic adults: teachers, nuns, a librarian, an artist, a mathematician, a scientist, and a time-defying janitor. At the center of the narrative is a recurring antagonist: a former friend who engages in acts of violence that impact each version of the characters, causing their trauma to refract and repeat. 

The book employs a nonlinear, recursive narrative approach with multiple recurring motifs, objects, and echoes of characters that emphasize iteration rather than traditional plot progression.

A witch, a ward, and a houseboat adrift in time—where beauty and terror share the helm.

The mysterious houseboat Veronica motors across a postapocalyptic freshwater lake, inhabited by a black-haired witch and her young male ward. They explore an unfolding world of shape-shifting moons, vampire moths, and submerged witch cemeteries—a world where voluntary imprisonment holds its own appeal and the heart yearns for the delicate dance between blood and power, beauty and terror.

Neither a pirate nor a mere witch, she is an artist, a master of water and time who shapes reality with her baffling powers. This lyrical and compelling novel beckons readers to explore the enigmatic depths of its prose, inviting them to traverse the waters of wonder and bewilderment. Embrace the bewitching allure of The Houseboat Veronica and lose yourself in its enchanting embrace.
