'One of the 20th century's greatest thinkers and prose stylists'
New York Times 'A novel of the disquieting contours of family, and
of the mind, and of life unceasing even in the midst of death by
one of the most important, visionary writers of all time' Amina
Cain, author of Indelicacy WITH A FOREWORD BY KATE ZAMBRENO There's
nothing to do about boredom, I'm bored, but one day I won't be
bored anymore. Soon I'll know that it's not even worth the trouble.
We'll have the easy life. Twenty-five-year-old Francine
Veyrenattes, confined to the family farm, already feels that life
is passing her by. But after Francine lets slip a terrible secret,
culminating in the violent deaths of her brother and uncle, her
world is shattered. Fleeing the farm for the seaside, Francine
finds herself disintegrating. Lying in the sun with her toes in the
sand, she restlessly wishes for things to be somehow easier, to
have a life worth living. But then the calm and quiet is broken yet
again - by another tragedy and a senseless death, in which Francine
finds herself implicated. Cast out of paradise, and stranded
between her home and the rest of the world, she must confront her
rapidly dissolving sense of self if she is to find a way to
survive. 'It's a masterpiece, and a little known, if not unknown,
masterpiece ... Any serious reader of this author's work must begin
with this novel' YVES BERGER
