Caroline Hinault returns with a novel drawn from the classroom
The Breton author and literature teacher publishes Ce qui se joue, her third novel, described by Le Courrier as a hybrid, politically engaged work inspired by her own profession.
Caroline Hinault publishes Ce qui se joue this rentrée, her third novel, according to Le Courrier (CH). The Swiss outlet describes the book as a protean, engaged work born out of her day job: she teaches literature in Brittany.
Hinault has already been recognised for her earlier fiction. Her first novel, Solak, won prizes in 2021, and her second, Traverser les forêts, was similarly honoured in 2024, Le Courrier notes.
The outlet frames the new book's arrival as a moment when the literary rentrée, the school-year rentrée and the social calendar converge, since Hinault is writing from inside a profession she practises daily. Beyond that framing, no further details of plot, publisher or length were available in the source material.
