| Description: | Select Guide Rating From a master of suspense comes this classic tale of lust and revenge set in the French countryside. Described as ''the Graham Greene of France'' by The Independent, cult French noir writer Japrisot brings us a classic tale of lust and revenge set in the French countryside. ‘A marvellous storyteller’ Télérama Car mechanic Fiorimond is irresistibly drawn to beautiful, provocative Elle, a recent arrival in his sleepy Provence village. Their relationship develops quickly, but even as they make plans to marry, Fiorimond doesn''t know what to make of his bride-to-be: is she an enigma or simply vacuous? In fact the troubled Elle is on a mission to exact revenge on Fiorimond''s family for a crime committed decades earlier, with a plan that will ultimately destroy all their lives, including hers. Set in the 1970s, and available in English again for the first time in many years, this is a true classic of French suspense. It has everything: stylish writing, clever construction, an unforgettable leading lady, and most importantly leaves the reader guessing until the very last page. |
