Armed with Madness
by Mary Butts
A circle of restless young friends in a country house find an object they take for the Grail, and watch their world tilt strangely around it — Butts’s haunting modernist tale.
Parent content note
An experimental modernist novel for adults, not the children’s fare its listing suggests — oblique and unsettling, with sexual undercurrents. Best for mature readers.
