Book report - "Decent People" by Kinga Wyrzykowska
Picture-perfect family. That's the Simart-Duteil family at first glance. Rich, influential, beautiful, and at the very top of the high French class hierarchy – they belong to the most prestigious clubs, graduated from the best schools, and drink the most expensive liquors. And yet, the family idyll falls apart into small pieces when someone from the outside unexpectedly knocks on their door. This is the outline of the plot of Kinga Wyrzykowska's novel entitled "Decent People"... But who really deserves the name "decent people" in contemporary France? The book, which I will discuss with its author in this episode, tells the story of a family that interrupts its comfortable, luxurious life, condemning itself to voluntary isolation in its beautiful estate in Normandy. The backdrop to this great family drama is the bloody events that shook France in 2015.
