«À nos vies imparfaites» is the short story collection by Véronique Ovaldé, published by Flammarion in 2024 (160 pages, in French).
It brings together eight stories about characters trying to make their way in imperfect lives: Auguste, pursued by bad luck; Éva, between work and an ungrateful daughter; Rachel, confronted by a thief in her living room; and Lili, who keeps an obstinate silence. Ovaldé combines humour and sharpness, with her art of ellipsis and surprising endings.
The work is the winner of the 2024 Goncourt de la nouvelle, as stated on the cover.
For readers of contemporary French fiction and short stories with everyday, imperfect characters.
