Description

As it is known, hatred breeds hatred, and violence breeds violence. But who could have guessed that, on the soil of events from long ago in distant places, there would arise such a tangle of confusing human passions and madness—as in Frank Thilliez’s novel “Fractures”!

Alice realizes that something is wrong with her: black holes appear in her memory again and again. Treatment with psychiatrist Luc Graham—seemingly—should lead to recovery. However, strange events multiply around the young woman. For example, how can one explain that a photograph of her twin sister—who died ten years ago—ended up in the hands of a refugee hiding from the authorities? How to understand why her own father attacked her, and now claims that he was trying to kill himself? Where did the bloodied blouse come from in the bathroom? And finally, what does it all have to do with a completely motionless naked man found at a bus stop? Is this descent into madness after all…
