«Poing mort» is the novel by Nina Bouraoui, published by Folio in paperback (108 pages, in French).
Set in a cemetery, the novel follows a woman who keeps the dead and walks the rows of tombstones at night with a lamp. Among drawers of ashes and chapels, she recalls her childhood and a vow of cruelty made as a girl. Times blend as visitors come to the gate for prayer and memory emerges with rawness.

For readers of contemporary French fiction interested in poetic prose that explores memory and cruelty.
