Moon in a Dead Eye

More about the book

"Combines a sense of the surreal with a ruthless wit."--The Observer Given the choice, Martial would not have moved to Les Conviviales. But Odette loved the idea of a 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 nonstop. Then three neighbors 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 . . . Pascal Garnier is a leading figure in contemporary French literature. He died in 2010.
