Ville-d’Avray is less than an hour away, but it seems like another world with its secluded streets and set-back houses. \u003cbr\u003eThe sisters' relationship is ambiguous. the woman's visits to Ville-d’Avray tend to leave her discomfited; for all Claire Marie's seeming provincial passivity, she knows exactly how to get under her sister's skin. \u003cbr\u003eAs they settle into the torpor of the afternoon, Claire Marie describes a curious encounter from her past. Sundays are when she thinks about life – whether she expected something more from it, and whether she is still waiting for it to begin. \u003cbr\u003eSharply observed and wryly funny, A Sunday in Ville-d’Avray is a haunting novel about half-shared truths and desires that can never fully be expressed.","brand":"Daunt Books","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53519377629526,"sku":"9781911547969-G","price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781911547969_1.jpg?v=1781689984","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/barberis-dominique-a-sunday-in-ville-d-avray-9781911547969","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
