When Iris's mother pushes her to drink a mushroom brew, Iris is unprepared for the life the hallucination reveals - and where it leads her.
At the crossroads of childhood and womanhood, Iris knows she must choose how she wants to live her life. The only issue is - she can't decide which path to take.
Torn between a life lived for love and a life lived in pursuit of power, Iris gets the rare opportunity to experience both when she drinks a mushroom brew at her rite of passage ritual that draws her into an intense, vivid hallucination of what could be.
In her parallel life, Iris meets Amorr, a childhood friend who appears to be her very soulmate. With Amorr by her side, Iris chooses her mother's plan for her - to become the village midwife. However, she is no midwife. Distraught at her failure, Iris turns away from love and instead seeks power, assuming it will make her happy. Despite her success, Iris's soulless existence leaves much to be desired.
Throughout her hallucination, Iris fails again and again to find happiness, and at her wits end during the final moments of her hallucination, she abandons her illusion of power, and walks down the path to paradise.
A riveting read for young adults and older readers, Plukt is a unique coming-of-age story of love, loss, desire, and finding oneself in the most confusing of times.
