Synopsis
Set at the moment her mother and father separate, this exacting portrait of a child immersed in her books and her music casts a dispassionate yet ultimately touching eye on the young girl’s reaction to the new upheaval in her life. Le Livre de Marie is Miéville’s meditation on the end of childhood.
