description: Olivia arrives at her mother's chateau in rural France (the first time in more than a decade) with her two young children in tow. Soon the family is joined by Olivia's brother Marcus and his wife Sophie - but this reunion is far from joyful. After years of desperately wanting a baby Sophie has just given birth to a stillborn child and she is struggling to overcome her devastation. Meanwhile Olivia wrestles with her own secrets about the cruel and violent man she married many years before. Exquisitely written and reminiscent of Ian McEwan and J. M. Coetzee Disquiet is a darkly beautiful and atmospheric story that will linger in the mind long after the final page is turned.
