«Prodige» is the novel by Nancy Huston, published by Actes Sud in the Babel collection in paperback (192 pages, in French).
The novel follows Maya, a girl born prematurely who grows up to become a prodigy pianist. Around her move her parents, with their meetings and partings; her Russian grandmother and an attentive neighbor. Bach's music structures a polyphonic narrative about the borders between dream and madness, love and pain, art and reality.
The subtitle on the cover is «Polyphonie»; it is part of the Babel collection from Actes Sud as number 515.
For readers of contemporary fiction in French interested in stories about music, family, and emotional bonds.
Nancy Louise Huston is a Canadian novelist and essayist, a longtime resident of France, who writes primarily in French and translates her own works into English.
