Faces on the Tip of My Tongue

About this book

Meetings partings loves and losses in rural France are dissected with compassion. The late wedding guest isnt your cousin but a drunken chancer. The driver who gives you a lift isnt going anywhere but off the road. Snow settles on your car in the middle of summer and the glitter found between the pages of a borrowed novel takes you into another world. Paganos stories weave together the mad the mysterious and the dispossessed in rural France with honesty and humour. This is a superb cumulative collection from a unique French voice.
