Synopsis
Madame Rebernak, a single mother, is horrified to learn that her husband’s cousin Freddy, who was sent to prison fifteen years prior for sexually abusing a young girl, has just been released. Not only that, but he’s living across the street from her, her son, and her beautiful teenage daughter, Clémence. Increasingly concerned that something terrible will befall Clémence, she is painted by the men around her as paranoid and delusional. But what at first seems delusional turns out to be simply inevitable.
Told in stark, unsparing language, A Friend of the Family is a gripping freefall through intuition and suspicion from one of France’s renowned noir writers.
