The Familia Grande by Camille Kouchner

THE FAMILIA GRANDE by CAMILLE KOUCHNER translated by ADRIANA HUNTER 

A French woman in translation ready for Women In Translation Month (beginning tomorrow). 

Firstly, thank you @brazen.books for this proof of such an important French memoir. It was a bestseller in France, and was even read and reviewed by the French president, Macron. Consequently, the law changed on… actually, I won’t tell you because it’s a spoiler, but if you are worried, I recommend that you check trigger warnings for this because there are A LOT of triggers in this book. 

Although I don’t usually read books like this, I couldn’t stop once I started. The writing is pitch perfect, and the shocking moments were not over done or gratuitous in any way. 

It’s very hard to say that I enjoyed a book like this, but it feels like an important work of literature because of the impact it had on French law. And it was well-written.
