Description:

An emotionally implosive novel about confronting the death of a loved one and the possibility of hope a child brings.

Synopsis:

Praised for her "exceptional ability to narrate the heartrending lives of ordinary people" (Jean-Louis Hippolyte) and delivering a "riveting page-turner" (Entertainment Weekly), Pascale Kramer is one of the world's finest chroniclers of internal family dynamics. Kramer began writing this book during one of her many sojourns in Los Angeles, speaks fluent English, and will be traveling to the U.S.-all of which will help us bring her work to a wider audience.The Child takes an unsentimental look at the emotional complexities involved with the death of a loved one by cancer, without any easy moral lessons on confronting, or the inability to confront, such a harsh reality. It is also a moving portrait of a family on the edge and a timely exploration of the growing unrest in the French suburbs. Translator Tamsin Black was widely praised for her work on The Living, Pascale Kramer's first novel to be translated into English.
