5.0

An family drama set on the sun soaked French Riviera in the 90s. Tense, enticing and poetic it’s a story of desire and death told by a master. 

Reminiscent of The Great Gatsby in the way it builds tension reliant on things unsaid and summer heat. A wonderfully addictive book, far greater that it’s 160 pages.
