The Dawn
by Pia Malaussène
Description
The narrator is driving across France to join her brother in the South: she is coming to tell him that their little sister Agnès has just been admitted to Saint-Anne hospital for mentally ill. But it is hard to speak with him who refuses all complicity and who spends his time examining his family tree… Tensions are rising between brother and sister: they have nothing in common but childhood memories, mostly in Guyana, including with Agnès… Agnès whose childish fears have been misunderstood by her older sister, who reproaches herself bitterly for it, whereas the brother retreats into a chilling silence.
What really happened in the green paradise of Guyana jungle? What is the family secret which made Agnès mad?
Pia Malaussène creates an oppressive, intense and disturbing atmosphere as in equatorial forest… In the heart of it, however, we can see the sweet lights of a possible dawn.
