Some books manage to capture turning points in life, periods of transition that we dread, that we try to put off until later, as long as possible, until they inevitably come crashing down on us, with lightning-fast violence. "Nous n'étions pas des tendres" is such a book.

This braided historical novel is remarkable for its very origin story. Julia Malye, a young French writer, did an MFA in the US and spent years crafting two versions of this novel: one in English (published under the title "Pelican Girls" by Harper), the other in French. To read both is less to read a translation than it is to…

Wondering what we've been reading this March? Thomas Schlesser's Les Yeux de Mona, aka the most buzziest novel of this year so far; La Fille de Lake Placid, an hymn to Lana Del Rey; Diaty Diallo's breathtaking debut, Deux Secondes d'air qui brulent (Points/Seuil); and Sororité, a collective take on sisterhood led by French novelist Chloé Delaume.

We discovered French novelist Célia Houdart in 2022, when she published “Journée particulière”. This gracious, tender, suffused with a contained nostalgia was our introduction to her work which explores a great variety of crafts and words. We were curious to discover which authors and books Célia Houdart holds in high esteem, and she was generous enough to share with us…
