Book Synopsis


Trade Review
Leduc's short book is magnificently disproportionate to its length. A moving, beautiful and authentic classic. We must be grateful to the Penguin European Writers series, a precious venture in these dark times, for bringing it back to us. -- John Banville
A forceful affirmation of the human spirit * Guardian *
Violette Leduc's novels are works of genius and also a bit peculiar -- Deborah Levy, from the introduction
She can capture the smells of a country childhood, dazzle with the lights of the Place de la Concorde or make you feel the silky slither of her eel-grey suit * Observer *
This book is as richly humane as anything else you're likely to read * Independent *
What is important about Violette Leduc is the extraordinary perfection she brings to experience and the exquisite skill she uses to describe it * Daily Mail *
The great French feminist writer we need to remember * Guardian *
A vastly under-read author -- Lauren Elkin, author of Flaneuse
