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
