📱 eBook en inglés A SUNDAY IN VILLE D'AVRAY

LONGLISTED FOR THE PRIX GONCOURT AND SHORTLISTED FOR THE PRIX FEMINA I was in the melancholy state of mind that often comes over me when I go to see my sister, and I think I started by getting a little lost . . . Its a Sunday in early September and a woman leaves muggy Paris to visit her sister in the western suburbs of the city. Ville-dAvray is less than an hour away, but it seems like another world with its secluded streets and set-back houses. The sisters relationship is ambiguous. Janes visits to Ville-dAvray leave her discomfited; for all Claire Maries seeming provincial passivity, she knows exactly how to get under Janes skin. As they settle into the torpor of the afternoon, Claire Marie describes a curious encounter from her past. Sundays are when she thinks about life – whether she expected something more from it, and whether she is still waiting for it to begin. Sharply observed and wryly funny, A Sunday in Ville-dAvray is a haunting novel about half-shared truths and desires that can never fully be expressed. A novel with a singular evocative power. Le Monde
