«Fille» is the novel by Camille Laurens, published by Gallimard in paperback (240 pages, in French).
The novel follows Laurence Barraqué from her childhood in the 1960s to her motherhood in the 1990s, in a France undergoing profound social transformations. Over these decades, the protagonist confronts the expectations tied to being a woman and the transmission of femininity between generations: what it means to be a daughter and what it entails, in turn, to have a daughter.
Set in Rouen and recognized as «Livre de l'année» by the magazine Lire, the work belongs to Gallimard's catalogue and was originally published in 2020.
Recommended for readers of French literary fiction interested in women's experiences in contemporary society.
Laurence Ruel, known by her pen name Camille Laurens, is a French writer and winner of the 2000 Prix Femina for Dans ces bras-là. Laurens is a member of the Académie Goncourt.
