Description
Miranda is living the typical life of a woman approaching fifty: she is a single mother, and her only child is soon to become independent. Her parents live in a dilapidated house in the French countryside, where they keep two llamas, eight ducks, five hens and two cats, alongside an ancient freezer packed with suspicious food. Her father is a retired philosophy professor who never loses an argument. Her mother likes turning conversations towards the war, despite being born after it. They have been married for fifty years, and each is convinced of being right. During her visits, Miranda acts as an interpreter, passing one parent’s requests or complaints on to the other, then taking out her accumulated frustration on her daughter or sister. This ironic and sharply observed story explores one eccentric family, sibling rivalry, irreconcilable generational differences and long-buried secrets.
