Three is a deeply- layered, slow burn of a novel. It centres on Nina, Adrien and Etienne who meet as ten year olds and form a deep and abiding friendship, albeit one that has its ebbs and flows, challenges and a major breaks. We see their childhood and teen years and then meet them again in their forties, when a car is pulled from a lake with a body inside. The characterisation is excellent, the many threads of the plot deftly handled as Perrin carefully and meticulously weaves them together in this beautifully written novel. The story takes some unexpected turns and covers some difficult terrain. I really enjoyed Perrin’s quiet, powerful and satisfying storytelling.
