Summary

Bloomsbury presents People Like Them by Samira Sedira, read by Susan Nezami.

Everything started one Saturday in July.... 

Anna and Constant Guillot and their two daughters live in the remote mountain village of Carmac. Everyone in Carmac knows each other, and most of its residents look alike – that is until Bakary and Sylvia Langlois arrive with their three children. 

The new family’s impressive chalet and expensive cars are in stark contrast with the modesty of those of their neighbours, yet despite their initial differences, the Langlois and the Guillots form an uneasy friendship. But when both families begin experiencing financial troubles, the underlying class and racial tensions of their relationship come to a breaking point, and the unthinkable happens.... 

How could a seemingly ‘normal’ person commit an atrocious crime? How could that person's loved ones ever come to terms with it afterwards? 

And how well can you really know your own spouse?

Critic reviews

"People Like Them is disturbing and powerful. It explores the topics of racism and jealousy in a very subtle way. I loved it." (Leila Slimani, best-selling author of Lullaby)

Thought provoking story

The book is short but well structured and keeps you interested.it deals with some tough themes and is not simplistic in the way it deals with them. I really enjoyed the listen and would recommend it to others.
My only criticism would be that the translation felt (rightly or wrongly) skewed to an American audience. The language just felt all wrong at times and along with the American accent of the narrator I had to keep reminding myself the book was set in France and not the US. Don’t let that put you off though.
