«Ceux qui changent et ceux qui meurent» is the novel by Barbara Comyns, published by Robert Laffont in paperback (208 pages, in French).
In a Warwickshire village, the river's rise in June unleashes a series of absurd and macabre events: ducks swim in the drawing rooms, the grandmother celebrates her birthday, and the neighbors are shaken by a fatal madness. With black humor, Barbara Comyns portrays a dysfunctional family and a rural community subjected to illness and death.
The novel was originally published in 1954 under the title Who Was Changed and Who Was Dead. This French edition appeared in 2024 in the Pavillons collection.
For readers of twentieth-century British fiction who appreciate macabre humor, surreal atmospheres and portraits of rural life.
