French fanfiction about Lana Del Rey is a surprising pitch but you don’t need to be a fan to enjoy this. The singers are almost ciphers here for a story about artistry, womanhood, love and Americana.

This intricate literary novel is set between Senegal, France, and Poland. While it engages with a lot of philosophical questions and explores Serer mysticism, it's a succinct book that is simply and evocatively written. The main plot, a love story that takes a tragic turn, feels like the driving mechanism of the book, and it never feels overly dense.

This incredibly buzzy debut is something like if an acclaimed art historian had written "All the Light We Cannot See". It feels passionate and engaging and really captures the freshness and wonder of understanding art, the world, growing up, through the eyes of a child.

If you are wondering what we’ve been reading this January, our answer will be great books mostly! We first turned loyally to old flames, and those of you who enjoyed Fugitive parce que Reine (The Book of Mother) and Rose Désert will be happy to hear that Les Monuments de Paris (Gallimard) is another tour de force by Violaine Huisman.

Les Fleurs sauvages (POL, 2024) is as much a novel about the birth of an artist, as it is about the dynamics within a family’s, as it is about our connection to nature. Houdart treats each aspect of her fiction with the same importance, she explores each narrative line with the same degree of engagement, the same precision in her…
