Wild Dog by Serge Joncour
1.0
Wild Dog... anyone read this? Now It's quite difficult to get into I won't lie. It's a translated book and sometimes I could just feel that barrier from its original language.
The vibe of the book has a subtle eerie undertone that I enjoyed. There are two story lines that alternate between chapters.. one is a French village and the effects it has on the residents and wild life at the beginning of WW1. The other is the same location but the village is gone, a house or 'gîte' stands alone in the wilderness, and a modern couple in late 2000's take a small vacation to get away from the hussle of life. Here they are faced with something extra ordinary, something wild and calm. It watches and follows their every move. .
Not an easy read, I found the chapters in 2017 easier to follow. For me the plot wasn't solid enough and i felt it moved too slowly. This would look good on the big screen i think. Thank you kindly to @gallicbooks for this #gifted
