Synopsis

Meetings, partings, loves and losses in rural France are dissected with compassion. The late wedding guest isn't your cousin but a drunken chancer. The driver who gives you a lift isn't going anywhere but off the road. Snow settles on your car in the middle of summer and the glitter found between the pages of a borrowed novel takes you into another world. Pagano's stories weave together the mad, the mysterious and the dispossessed in rural France with honesty and humour. This is a superb cumulative collection from a unique French voice.

Media Reviews
`Pagano succeeds because of the range of her insight and the skill with which she shifts register: from wistfulness to blunt force, or from fantasy to naturalism.' CHRIS POWER, THE GUARDIAN `Endlessly beautiful and poignant.' LE MONDE BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2012 `Devastatingly beautiful.' LE SOIR, BELGIUM
