InUndercurrents, a mother and daughter mysteriously disappear to a deserted seaside town in France, as the novel poetically evokes the varied moods and rich palette of the ocean. From seemingly simple events, Darrieussecq deftly plunges the reader into a sensual, surrealistic literary experience grounded inyet worlds away fromday-to-day reality.

Called "truly inspired" by Le Pointe and "gripping" by Le Monde, Undercurrents fulfills and exceeds our expectations of this talented young author.
