Disquiet
Author: Julia Leigh
Olivia arrives at her mother's chateau in rural France--the first time in more than a decade--with her two young children in tow. Soon the family is joined by Olivia's brother Marcus and his wife Sophie--but this reunion is far from joyful, in this exquisitely written, atmospheric story.

Maybe if the author had written a complete book it might have been better...then again, it might have just been a whole lot more awful. Really morbid & weird.

Certainly good writing. Definitely a departure from the standard literary fare. Clearly it was titled appropriately, for it is disturbing. Otherwise it is utterly awful.

Lives up to its title. A disturbing look at loss, abuse, mourning, and familial bonds. Leaves you wanting at the end, though, and not in a good way; it seems like the author just ran out of steam. Intriguing nonetheless.
