Shortlisted
for the 2006 Scotiabank
Giller Prize.
A Cormorant Fiction Trade Paperback Original
Marianne, a young Montrealer, has come to live in Tuscany to draw
and write and examine her life. Here she meets Marco, a temptingly
seductive man who still lives in his mother's house in the village
and who's not prepared to commit himself to anything resembling
a shared life. Though he breaks her heart, again and again, Marianne
can only avoid him by returning to Canada. This first
novel by Pascale Quiviger is marked by its luminous language and
its unstinting look at what makes Marianne, and Marco, and, indeed,
an entire village and the world beyond it, tick. The
Perfect Circle is the winner of the 2004 Governor General's
Literary Award for Fiction (French language).
