A forceful affirmation of the human spirit
Guardian
This book is as richly humane as anything else you're likely to read
Independent
What is important about Violette Leduc is the extraordinary perfection she brings to experience and the exquisite skill she uses to describe it
Daily Mail
She can capture the smells of a country childhood, dazzle with the lights of the Place de la Concorde or make you feel the silky slither of her eel-grey suit
Observer
The great French feminist writer we need to remember
Guardian
Violette Leduc's novels are works of genius and also a bit peculiar
Deborah Levy, from the introduction
Leduc's short book is magnificently disproportionate to its length. A moving, beautiful and authentic classic. We must be grateful to the Penguin European Writers series, a precious venture in these dark times, for bringing it back to us.
John Banville
A vastly under-read author
