A Long Way Off by Pascal Garnier
4.0
2020 seems to be the year for me to read more translated fiction, and I’ve really enjoyed delving into books I wouldn’t have discovered but for bookstagram.
.
A Long Way Off by Pascal Garnier is a story that I’m still thinking about, weeks after reading. The translation by Emily Boyce is wonderful.
.
Marc longs to travel somewhere remote, so abandons his partner, he takes his cat and grown up daughter Anne (away from her high security residential home), on a road trip down to the south of France. This odd trio leave a trail of destruction and mysterious disappearances in their wake.
.
This quirky novella is for anyone who is in the mood for reading about opportunistic adults behaving badly.
