This autobiographical novel of alienation and exile explores the alienation of a girl and her grandmother contending with life between two identities. As a young woman of colour and Caribbean ancestry - even though Paris-born - the girl is not accepted as not French enough.

Trade Review
[Pineau is] among the best of women writers from the Third World. L’exil selon Julia is one of the richest, most enjoyable books to appear recently from the group of remarkable women novelists from Guadeloupe." —World Literature Today

"An exercise in humor and lucidity, L’exil selon Julia is a discreet invitation to reflect on today’s fundamental issues, the uprooting, acceptance, and mixing of populations." —Le Monde
