A WOMANS BATTLES AND TRANSFORMATIONS - ÉDOUARD ...

Édouard Louis is one of the most important literary voices of his generation' Guardian One day
Édouard Louis finds a photograph of his mother from twenty years ago: a happy young woman  full
of hopes and dreams. But growing up  Édouard only knew his mother's sadness - what happened in
those years since the photo was taken? Then  at the age of forty-five  Édouard's mother frees
herself from this life of oppression  to start a new one in Paris. A Woman's Battles and
Transformations reckons with the cruel systems that govern our lives - and with the possibility
of escape. It is a tender portrait of a mother  and an honouring of her self-discovery as she
chooses to live on her own terms. 'Tash Aw's sensitive translation captures the vividness of
Louis's voice... Movingly  the book demonstrates the pain that moving from one social class to
another entails' Times Literary Supplement 'A tenderness of observation' New York Times
'Incandescent...Louis's most hopeful book to date' Los Angeles Times Translated from the French
by Tash Aw
