A chilling thriller as compulsive as Emma Cline's The Girls It's the Summer of 1967. The sun shines brightly over Boundary Pond, a holiday haven on the US-Canadian border. Families relax in the heat, happy and carefree. Hours tick away to the sound of radios playing 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' and 'A Whiter Shade of Pale'. Children run along the beach as the heady smell of barbecues fills the air. Zaza Mulligan and Sissy Morgan, with their long, tanned legs and silky hair, relish their growing reputation as the red and blonde Lolitas. Life seems idyllic. But then Zaza disappears, and the skies begin to cloud over... 'Brilliantly innovative in narrative and thrillingly readable, Boundary is a splendid novel that makes high literature out of crime and suspense' - Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain 'While it has an element of the whodunit, this lushly written, award-winning francophone novel is literary crime-writing in which the texture of period and place takes priority' - John Dugdale, Sunday Times 'As with her earlier novels, Andrée A. Michaud transcends the limitations of the crime genre (impeccably tying each thread together) to delve deeper into its dramatic repercussions. [. . .] in her 10th novel, she reaches the height of style' - L'Actualité 'The writing is fiery and inspired. The pace is breathless yet punctuated with familiar scenes of daily life that could be our own' - Le Devoir
