A novel traces the family roots of a woman's suicide
In « N’efface pas mes cercles », Emma Marsantes examines how family violence repeats itself across generations, according to a review in Le Monde.
Le Monde has reviewed « N’efface pas mes cercles », a new novel by Emma Marsantes published as part of this year's rentrée littéraire. The paper describes it as an elliptical, gap-filled account of a woman's suicide and the family violence that preceded it across several generations.
According to Le Monde, the book builds what it calls a genealogy of that death, tracing lines of transmission within a family rather than presenting a single, linear account of the event itself. The review characterises the writing as lacunar, leaving readers to piece together what is withheld as much as what is told.
No further details on the book's structure, length or publisher were given in the material available.
