Matthieu Simard

Simon and Marie can’t seem to have a baby. And so they flee the city for an idyllic village, where things will certainly be better. But the town is gloomy, even hostile -- things haven’t been the same since the factory closed down and a broadcast antenna was erected. Now there are no birds singing, and people have started disappearing.

The Country Will Bring Us No Peace

Peace is a momentary void between two conflicts.

A novel about silence, The Country Will Bring Us No Peace sneaks the brutality of grief into your imagination

It reminded me of the Immortal Snail Theory. That no matter how long you run away from grief, it will always catch up to you. And when that happens, you'll have no choice but to deal with it.

It's a good read despite being confusing at first. I guess that's part of the mystery of the little town. Everyone has a secret, and sometimes it's better to stay ignorant about the details of it.

This is a bleak, heart-breaking little book. But despite its mere 125 pages, I found it convoluted in places. 

It shouldn’t haven’t taken me a week to finish such a short book, but it was overwhelmingly depressing.

I thought the premise of the book sounded much more interesting than its execution. I was expecting something more ominous and creepy, based off the blurb.

That being said, it’s an interesting examination of grief and how it can seep into every part of your life.

Probably wouldn’t recommend it.
