520    A painter contends with the ghosts of the French 
       countryside in a psychological literary thriller by a 
       major French writer.  Buried deep in rural France, little 
       remains of the isolated hamlet of the Three Lone Girls, 
       save a few houses and a curiously assembled quartet: 
       Patrice Bergogne, inheritor of his family's farm; his wife,
       Marion; their daughter, Ida; and their neighbor, Christine,
       an artist. While Patrice plans a surprise for his wife's 
       fortieth birthday, inexplicable events start to disrupt 
       the hamlet's quiet existence: anonymous, menacing letters,
       an unfamiliar car rolling up the driveway. And as night 
       falls, strangers stalk the houses, unleashing a 
       nightmarish chain of events.  Told in rhythmic, propulsive
       prose that weaves seamlessly from one consciousness to the
       next over the course of a day, Laurent Mauvignier's The 
       Birthday Party is a deft unraveling of the stories we hide
       from others and from ourselves, a gripping tale of the 
       violent irruptions of the past into the present, written 
       by a major contemporary French writer.
