The A26 by Pascal Garnier
In this dark and atmospheric novel, an isolated brother and sister, Bernard and Yolande, live in a decaying house in rural France, cut off from the world as the construction of a new motorway, the A26, looms nearby. Bernard, who harbors a sinister secret, is driven by a compulsion to commit a series of gruesome murders, while Yolande, trapped in the past, remains oblivious to the outside world, believing World War II is still ongoing. As the siblings' lives spiral into chaos, the story explores themes of isolation, madness, and the inescapable passage of time, culminating in a chilling and tragic conclusion.
