Overview

Given the choice, Martial would not have moved to Les Conviviales. But Odette loved the idea of a brand-new retirement village in the south of France. So that was that. At first it feels like a terrible mistake: they're the only residents and it's raining non-stop. Then three neighbours arrive, the sun comes out, and life becomes far more interesting and agreeable. Until, that is, some gypsies set up camp just outside their gated community… AUTHOR: Pascal Garnier was born in Paris in 1949. The prize winning author of over sixty books, he remains a leading figure in contemporary French literature, in the tradition of Georges Simenon. He died in 2010. REVIEWS: 'A perfectly balanced cross between a thriller and a social document.' – L'Express 'Combines a sense of the surreal with a ruthless wit.' – Observer 'The combination of sudden violence, surreal touches and bone-dry humour have led to Garnier's work being compared with the films of Tarantino and the Coen brothers.' – Sunday Times
