Publisher's Synopsis

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

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 ...
