«L'Odeur du figuier» is the collection of five short stories by Simonetta Greggio, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (192 pages, in French).
The common thread of these five stories is the scent of a wild fig tree, an aroma that brings summer, childhood and nostalgia. That perfume hovers over the characters' lives as a sign that joy is near, while love, separation and solitude are sketched with a gaze towards Italy.
The work originally appeared in 2011; this edition is from 2012. It belongs to contemporary French fiction.
Aimed at a general adult audience interested in literary fiction and French narrative.
Simonetta Greggio is an Italian novelist who writes in French.
