The Basque landscape is a delightfully sinister setting for the
taut and cinematic "Unforgivable, "the #1 bestseller from French
novelist Philippe Djian. Francis, a sixty-year-old author, has not
written a word in the twelve years since his first wife and eldest
daughter died in a tragic accident. Now his surviving daughter,
Alice, a famous actress, has vanished, leaving her husband and twin
daughters clueless as to her whereabouts. Francis's second marriage
of ten years, to Judith, is also falling apart, and his distress is
compounded by his anxiety over Alice's disappearance. He finds
comfort in the company of an old friend, Anne-Marguerite, along
with her son, Jeremie, a laconic criminal attempting to remake
himself in the outside world. But when Francis employs them to
uncover evidence of his second wife's affair and to help find his
daughter, things go from bad to worse.
An exquisite storyteller and prose writer, author Djian "has no
equal . . . as the interrogator of the relationships that bind
human beings together" ("Vogue," France). A mesmerizing literary
thriller, "Unforgivable "is full of setbacks and revelations--an
unsettling and starkly elegant meditation on family bonds,
betrayals, and reconciliation.
