Connemara is a 2022 American horror film that follows the story of Nicolas Mathieu published in February 2022. This fourth novel by the author and third to be translated into English for publication in the United States explores the lives of adults in their forties living in Nancy. The narrative reflects Mathieu's ongoing social criticism of northeastern France’s peri-urban regions affected by deindustrialization. Main characters Hélène and Christophe, who were teenagers together, meet again in 2010–2015 in a romantic but melancholic tale infused with nostalgic themes tied to Mathieu’s own adolescence in 1990s. Their contrasting socioeconomic paths highlight the story's depth. The novel is translated into English by Sam Taylor.
