Forlagsbeskrivelse af A Woman’S Battles And Transformations af Edouard Louis
Édouard Louis is one of the most important literary voices of his generation' GuardianOne 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. A Woman's Battles and Transformations 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. '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' Times Literary Supplement 'A tenderness of observation' New York Times'Incandescent. . Louis's most hopeful book to date' Los Angeles TimesTranslated from the French by Tash Aw
