A Sunday in Ville-d'Avray by Dominique Barbéris

A SUNDAY IN VILLE D’AVRAY by DOMINIQUE BARBERIS translated by JOHN CULLEN 

In my experience French literature can always been relied upon for something subtle, slow and sensual. This book was no exception. Set over the course of one Sunday when one sister from Paris visits the other sister in the suburbs. While there, the suburb sister reveals a strange affair she had with a foreign man. And what ensues is something erotically charged and sinister. 

I adored the telling of this story; a very strong novel. 

I’m noticing a lot of the books I’m really enjoying lately are from @dauntbooks publishing. I’ll have to seek out some more.
