Tom and Charlie are living out what's left of their lives on their own
terms in a remote forest, two pot growers their only connection to the
outside world. But then two women arrive - a photographer on the trail
of survivors of a decades-ago forest fire and an elderly escapee from a
psychiatric institution - and everything changes.
Originally published in French, And the Birds Rained Down, the
recipient of several prizes, is a haunting meditation on aging and
self-determination.
