Days of Anger by Sylvie Germain

Description
Sylvie Germain's Days of Anger was awarded the coveted Prix Femina and hailed as a masterpiece when it was first published in France
Deep in the forests of Moran, far from civilization, live families of woodcutters and shepherds. A remote and beautiful world, it is a place where madness still reigns, murder occurs, and bloody punishments are delivered. What has happened to the body of the sensual and beautiful Catherine Corvol, wife of a rich landowner, killed not out of hatred but an excess of love?
Around this central enigma, Germain has created a gothic enchantment, a dazzling rural fantasy rich in angels, obsession, and revenge where the reader is carried forward as much by the lyricism and strangeness of the language as by the macabre and fantastic turns of the plot.
"A murdered woman, lying buried in the forests of the Morvan, is the still beating heart of Days of Anger. A rich, eventful saga of blood, angels, obsession and revenge, this marvellous novel is a compulsive, magical read, passionate and spell binding." — James Friel (Time Out)
"It reads like Thomas Hardy rewritten by some hectic surrealist and it plants in its rural glades a medieval vitality." — Robert Winder (The Independent)
"Germain's creations are strong, such as Hubert Cordebugler, the despised village knicker-thief who recycles lingerie in his secret love-chamber, and Fat Ginnie — a voluptuous, towering sherry trifle of a woman who gives birth to a strapping son every Feast of the Assumption. An icon for women of substance everywhere." — Geraldine Brennan (The Observer)
