Thriller
The Basque landscape is a delightfully sinister setting for
the taut and cinematic Unforgivable, the #1
bestseller from French novelist Philippe Djian. Francis, a
sixty-year-old author, has not written a word in the twelve
years since his first wife and eldest daughter died in a
tragic accident. Now his surviving daughter, Alice, a famous
actress, has vanished, leaving her husband and twin
daughters clueless as to her whereabouts. Francis’s second
marriage of ten years, to Judith, is also falling apart, and
his distress is compounded by his anxiety over Alice’s
disappearance. He finds comfort in the company of an old
friend, Anne-Marguerite, along with her son, Jérémie, a
laconic criminal attempting to remake himself in the outside
world. But when Francis employs them to uncover evidence of
his second wife’s affair and to help find his daughter,
things go from bad to worse. An exquisite storyteller
and prose writer, author Djian "has no equal . . . as the
interrogator of the relationships that bind human beings
together" (Vogue, France). A mesmerizing literary
thriller, Unforgivable is full of setbacks and
revelations—an unsettling and starkly elegant meditation on
family bonds, betrayals, and reconciliation.
