Description
Two Cambridge academics, the historians Nick and Sarah Mallinson, take a sabbatical with their three small and lively girls in a remote Languedoc farmhouse.

Superior novel…wincingly precise in his imagery and technically adept… An electric and darkly gleeful read |
|
| Other text | An immensely clever, tragicomic novel…a rich meditation on past and present colonial politics… What resonates for me is what I greatly admire in all Thorpe's work: the complex depth, and the texture and poetry of his storytelling language |
