The Birthday Party
Mauvignier, Laurent
Buried deep in rural France, little remains of the isolated hamlet of
the Three Lone Girls, save a few houses and a curiously assembled
quartet: Patrice Bergogne, inheritor of his family’s farm; his wife,
Marion; their daughter, Ida; and their neighbour, Christine, an artist.
While Patrice plans a surprise for his wife’s fortieth birthday,
inexplicable events start to disrupt the hamlet’s quiet existence:
anonymous, menacing letters, an unfamiliar car rolling up the driveway.
And as night falls, strangers stalk the houses, unleashing a nightmarish
chain of events.
Told in rhythmic, propulsive prose that
weaves seamlessly from one consciousness to the next over the course of a
day, Laurent Mauvignier’s The Birthday Party is a deft unravelling of
the stories we hide from others and from ourselves, a gripping tale of
the violent irruptions of the past into the present, written by a major
contemporary French writer.
