Really liked this story, noir beneath the glaring French sun. An agent provocateur for hire is tracking a group of activists in a commune in southern France. But this gig is changing her too. The weaving of different stories and layers, in social stratum, geography, and time. A story I’d like to have continued reading after it concluded. US author Rachel Kushner was shortlisted in 2024 for the UK based Booker Prize with this book.
