Cursed Bread Longlisted for the Women's Prize

A french small town is shaken up by the arrival of an american ambassador and his mysterious wife. Everyone seems to watch their every move, but especially Elodie, the bakers wife, feels drawn to the couple like a moth to the light. Her and the ambassadors wife seem to grow close, while strange and awful events happen around them. Six dead horses just outside the town? A boy who jumps into the midsummer fests fire? And what does the bread have to do with it? I'm still not quite sure to be honest, but i enjoyed this book anyway! A little morbid, kind of rotten, and strangely sensual.
