The Forgiven

The Forgiven is a best-selling 2012 psychological thriller by Lawrence Osborne first published in the United States by Hogarth and in the United Kingdom by the same imprint the following year.

Based loosely on a true story set in the deserts of Morocco, it was received with wide acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. The Economist selected it as one of its Best Books of 2012 and Robert Collins in The Sunday Times in London hailed its "brooding, compelling" quality. In the New York Times, critic Dwight Garner wrote : "This is a lean book that moves like a panther. Even better, Mr. Osborne has a keen and sometimes cruel eye for humans and their manners and morals, and for the natural world. You can open to almost any page and find brutally fine observations."

In 2018 it was announced at Cannes that John Michael McDonagh would be directing the film adaptation with Ralph Fiennes and Rebeca Hall
