The Country Will Bring Us No Peace by Matthieu Simard
Simon and Marie can't seem to have a baby. They decide to flee the city for an idyllic village, where things, they tell themselves, must be better. But their new home is gloomy, threatening, tinged with tragedy - things have not been the same since the factory closed down and the broadcast antenna was erected. In the trees, no birds are singing, and people have started disappearing... The Country Will Bring Us No Peace is celebrated Quebecois author Matthieu Simard's first work to be translated into English and published in the UK; a strange and poignant novella exploring grief and its aftermath.
Matthieu Simard, who has been called 'one of the most promising authors of his generation' by La Presse, has published eight novels including Ca sent la coupe, which was made into a feature film in 2017. His work has been shortlisted for the Archambault Literary Grand Prix, Prix France-Quebec, and Governor General's Literary Award. He lives in Montreal.
