«Comme des enfants» is the novel by Alison Lurie published by Rivages in paperback (229 pages, in French).
On a farm in upstate New York, in July 1935, two married couples and their daughters spend the Fourth of July weekend. The girls play and the adults behave with false lightness; the gaze of eight-year-old Mary Ann turns the gathering into a comedy of manners full of humour.
The novel, translated from English, was published by Rivages in 1992 and has 229 pages; the text is in French.
For readers of comedy of manners and stories with social irony, narrated through the eyes of a child.
Alison Stewart Lurie was an American novelist and academic. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her 1984 novel Foreign Affairs. Although better known as a novelist, she wrote many non-fiction books and articles, particularly on children's literature and the semiotics of dress.
