«Connemara» is the novel by French writer Nicolas Mathieu, published by Babel in paperback (544 pages, in French).
Hélène has succeeded: career, children and a house in Nancy, but at forty she feels everything has let her down. Christophe never left his village, sells dog food, lives with his father and son and still dreams of hockey. Meeting again confronts them with the past and the desire to start over, as a love is born in a changing France.
The novel was originally published in 2022; this Babel edition appeared in May 2023. It was nominated for the Prix du Livre Inter in 2022.
For readers of contemporary French fiction seeking stories of second chances and portraits of today's France.
