Contents

The book is about a mother who has mental difficulties whilst living in rural France. [2] Lorna Scott Fox in Times Literary Supplement states that the story line shows a "repetitive crisis" while the characters and story have little change. [1]

Adaptation

In 2020, Martin Scorsese sent the novel to Excellent Cadaver (run by Jennifer Lawrence and Justine Ciarrochi) after reading it in his book club, envisioning an adaptation with Lawrence in the lead role. [3] In November 2022, Lawrence confirmed she would star in the film, which Lynne Ramsay was co-writing with playwright Enda Walsh. [4] Ramsay became involved as director after Lawrence sent her the book. [5] In July 2024, Robert Pattinson was in talks to join the film, [6] which was first screened in the main competition of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on May 17, 2025. It is scheduled to be released in the United States and Canada on November 7, 2025.

Reception

Kirkus Reviews wrote that the work "cuts to the bone." [2]

British author Hari Kunzru stated that this was his favourite book of 2017. [7]
