A Sunday in Ville d'Avray
Author(s): Dominique Barbéris
Novel | Translated fiction | Western Europe
'This atmospheric novel plunges us into the folds of our own emotions thanks to a richly evocative style. It has the troubling melancholy of Modiano's novels and the charm of Rohmer's films.' - Gael
Set against the backdrop of the Corot ponds, Fausses-Reposes forest, and the footbridge above the Sevres-Ville-d'Avray station, this haunting novel explores half-shared truths and desires that can never be fully expressed.
