Mailbox Monday

#MailboxMonday

BOOK RECEIVED THIS PAST WEEK

Wow, I haven’t done a Mailbox Monday for ages!
This past week, thanks to the generosity of Belgravia Books / Gallic Books, I received the first volume of what it seems to be a new collection.
The first 2 volumes contain works by Pascal Garnier.

Volume 1 includes The A26, in which a new Picardy motorway brings modernity close to a flat in which a brother and sister live together, haunted by terminal illness and the events of 1945;
How’s the Pain?, the tale of an ageing ‘pest exterminator’ taking on one last job on the French Riviera;
and The Panda Theory, in which a stranger, Gabriel, arrives in a Breton town and befriends the locals … but is he as angelic as he seems?

I really enjoy Pascal Garnier’s writing. I have reviewed Moon in a Dead Eye, The Islanders, Too Close to the Edge, and The Eskimo Solution.
So I’m thrilled to discover these three I have not read yet.

Gallic Books’ logo is “The best of French in English”. That’s right.

WHAT GOOD BOOK
HAVE YOU RECEIVED?

  yes, if you are into noir. It’s really what he can do in very short novels. How things look at first honky-dory, and how it quickly goes down hill

I received Call Me Zebra by Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi. It is the March selection of The Nervous Breakdown Book Club. I started it last night. Amazing!

  This volume contains 3 of his short novels. As I have not read these stories, I can’t say for sure. This one for sure is very typical of him and good: https://wordsandpeace.com/2014/08/07/book-review-moon-in-a-dead-eye-i-love-france-105/
