Specifications
Édouard Louis is one of the most important literary voices of his generation. One day, he finds a photograph of his mother from twenty years ago: a happy young woman, full of hopes and dreams. However, growing up, Édouard only knew his mother's sadness - what happened during all these years since the photo was taken?
At the age of forty-five, Édouard's mother is liberated from this life of oppression, to start a new life in Paris. "The Battles and Transformations of a Woman" deals with the harsh systems that govern our lives - and the possibility of escape. It is a tender portrait of a mother, and a tribute to her self-discovery as she chooses to live on her own terms.
The sensitive translator Tash Aw captures the intensity of Louis's voice... Impressively, the book demonstrates the pain involved in transitioning from one social class to another.
"A tenderness of observation" - New York Times. "Radiant... Louis's most hopeful book to date" - Los Angeles Times.
Translated from French by Tash Aw. Pages: 128, Dimensions: 12.9x12.9cm.
