Description
Summary:

In Low Heights, from the 'slyly funny' [Sunday Times] Pascal Garnier, a grumpy retiree has his world turned upside down when a man claiming to be his son turns up on his doorstep.

'Another classy and clever little drama' The Bookbag

At least vultures have the decency to wait until their prey's dead before picking it apart ...

After losing his wife and suffering a stroke, cantankerous retiree Edouard Lavenant has moved from Lyon to a village in the mountains with his put-upon nurse, Therese. One day, a man comes to the door claiming to be Edouard's long-lost son.

Edouard's temper seems to be softening, but it isn't long before the local vultures are circling overhead ...
