«Ni d'Ève ni d'Adam» is the autobiographical novel by Amélie Nothomb, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (182 pages, in French).
Nothomb evokes her time as a young French teacher in Tokyo and her unusual courtship with Rinri, a shy, very Japanese young man from a good family. Between humor and fascination with Japanese codes, the novel portrays the clash of two worlds and a sentimental education as tender as it is disconcerting.
The novel won the Prix de Flore in 2007. It is set in the same period and the same Tokyo as «Estupor y temblores».
For readers aged 12 and up, especially those who enjoy contemporary fiction and stories set in Japan.
Baroness Fabienne Claire Nothomb, better known by her pen name Amélie Nothomb, is a Belgian Francophone novelist. Part of her childhood was spent in Asia.
