Beschreibung

<p><b>Édouard Louis is one of the most important literary voices of his generation' <i>Guardian</i></b><br><br>One day, Édouard Louis finds a photograph of his mother from twenty years ago: a happy young woman, full of hopes and dreams. But growing up, Édouard only knew his mother's sadness - what happened in those years since the photo was taken? Then, at the age of forty-five, Édouard's mother frees herself from this life of oppression, to start a new one in Paris.<br><br><i>A Woman's Battles and Transformations</i> reckons with the cruel systems that govern our lives - and with the possibility of escape. It is a tender portrait of a mother, and an honouring of her self-discovery as she chooses to live on her own terms.<br><br>'Tash Aw's sensitive translation captures the vividness of Louis's voice... Movingly, the book demonstrates the pain that moving from one social class to another entails' <b><i>Times Literary Supplement </i></b><br><br>'A tenderness of observation' <b><i>New York Times</i></b><br><br>'Incandescent...Louis's most hopeful book to date' <b><i>Los Angeles Times</i></b><br><br><b>Translated from the French by Tash Aw</b></p>
