Synopsis

‘An eerie meditation on the shattering power of grief and the painful search for any kind of redemption.’
– Will Maclean, author of The Apparition Phase

‘A horror story with the horror drained out. What remains is the insoluble wreckage of the grief left behind. It is beautiful and deeply moving.’
– Jac Jemc, author of The Grip of It

'A fearless look at what grief does to the world, to marriage, to your mind. I loved it.'
– Jenn Ashworth, author of Ghosted

Simon and Marie can't seem to have a baby. They decide to flee the city for an idyllic village, where things, they tell themselves, must be better. But their new home is gloomy, threatening, tinged with tragedy – things have not been the same since the factory closed down and the broadcast antenna was erected. In the trees, no birds are singing, and people have started disappearing…

The Country Will Bring Us No Peace is celebrated Québécois author Matthieu Simard’s first work to be translated into English and published in the UK; a strange and poignant novella exploring grief and its aftermath.
