«Le Cœur synthétique» is the novel by Chloé Delaume published by Noyelles in paperback (194 pages, in French).
Adélaïde, at forty-six, returns to dating after years of cohabitation and finds that her age devalues her in the romantic market. Obsessed with getting married, she feels guilty for not fitting the feminist ideal of singlehood while those around her face similar crises. Delaume narrates this second part of life with humor and emotion.
The cover includes the mention «Prix Médicis».
