# Unfit - Paperback

[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Ariana Harwicz** (Author), **Jessie Mendez Sayer** (Translator)

Lisa has lost custody of her young twin boys. Caught between the French legal system's sluggish bureaucracy and her sinister, scheming in-laws, she's alone and lost, an Argentine migrant in rural France picking grapes for a pittance, only allowed to see her children in supervised visits once a month. Scapegoated and outcast, destitute and desperate, Lisa decides to take radical action: early one morning, she sneaks into her in-laws' farmhouse, takes back her children, sets the barn ablaze, and makes her escape. What follows is a white-knuckled road trip that explores human beings pushed to the edge.

Clearly, Lisa is not in her right mind, and as Harwicz deftly mingles a chorus of contradictory voices into her very unreliable narration, the reader comes to regard the protagonist with an unsettling mixture of sympathy and suspicion. Written in savage, chiseled prose, _Unfit_ shoots off, a gripping chase that questions all our assumptions--and points out our hypocrisies--about motherhood, custody rights, love, violence, antisemitism, and migration. The latest novel by the acclaimed author of _Die, My Love_ (soon to be adapted to a film starring Jennifer Lawrence), _Unfit_ is addictively terrifying, savagely sophisticated, and shockingly brilliant.
