Kate Briggs)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a family home in the north of France, a crime has been committed. But a crime of what order? Who exactly is the victim and who, if anyone, is the criminal? In Twenty Minutes of Silence, Hélène Bessette unleashes a polyphonic investigation, multiplying perspectives, contradictions, questions and doubts. Everything in this high-octane drama is subject to change, including the lighting and the basic facts of the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposed in her signature poetic prose style, Bessette’s novella builds a world punctured by startling disruptions and unexpected shifts, and in doing so destroys and remakes the crime novel, creating a form wholly new. Devastating and exuberant, Twenty Minutes of Silence is a vital interrogation of the powerlessness of childhood, the compromises of adulthood, and the conventions of the novel itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boekhandel Perdu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62632374698314,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2782\/9974\/files\/9781804272152.jpg?v=1783863670","url":"https:\/\/boekhandelperdu.nl\/products\/twenty-minutes-of-silence","provider":"Boekhandel Perdu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
