  • "The Basque landscape is a delightfully sinister setting. Francis, a sixty-year-old author, has not written a word in the twelve years since his first wife and eldest daughter died in a tragic accident. Now his surviving daughter, Alice, a famous actress, has vanished, leaving her husband and twin daughters clueless as to her whereabouts. Francis's second marriage of ten years, to Judith, is also falling apart, and his distress is compounded by his anxiety over Alice's disappearance. He finds comfort in the company of an old friend, Anne-Marguerite, along with her son, Jérémie, a laconic criminal attempting to remake himself in the outside world. But when Francis employs them to uncover evidence of his second wife's affair and to help find his daughter, things go from bad to worse. A mesmerizing literary thriller, Unforgivable is full of setbacks and revelations--an unsettling and starkly elegant meditation on family bonds, betrayals, and reconciliation."
  • "Francis is a novelist. Tricky thing is, he hasn't written anything for 12 years, since his wife and daughter died. A relocation to the Basque area, and a new love interest, may break his writer's block -- however, his other daughter disappears, and Francis is beset by doubts over his new wife's fidelity. Perhaps this is not surprising since she had many affairs of many kinds before their marriage, but Francis himself is spending a good deal of time with a female friend whom he has known for years."
  • "Au Pays basque, Francis, un écrivain remarié à Judith, agent immobilier, est bouleversé d'apprendre la disparition de sa fille Alice, jeune comédienne. Il découvre que sa fille s'est volontairement cachée et que sa femme le trompe. Fou de rage, il décide de se détourner définitivement d'Alice.Un jour, pardonner n'est plus possible."
