The Wedding by Yann Queffélec
A harrowing, compact novel that traces the life of a boy raised in a cramped, violent household under the obsessive, possessive devotion of his mother; as he grows he must confront the legacy of abuse, social exile and the conflicting impulses of hatred and dependence, while spare, often lyrical prose interrogates how familial love can become corrosive and shape a life.
