«Étoile errante» is the novel by J. M. G. Le Clézio, published by Gallimard in paperback (339 pages, in French).
Summer 1943: in a village in the interior of Nice turned into a ghetto, the young Jewish woman Esther experiences fear, humiliation and exile. After the war she travels to Israel with her mother; upon arrival, her path crosses only once with Nejma, a Palestinian woman who leaves for the refugee camps. A glance and a name unite them forever.
Originally published in 1992, this edition is from Gallimard's nrf collection. The work forms a diptych with «Onitsha».
For readers of French fiction and of stories about the human consequences of war and exile.
