«Dans ces bras-là» is the novel by Camille Laurens, published by Le Grand Livre Du Mois/Pol in hardback (296 pages, in French).
The narrator, Camille, fascinated by men, reviews in sessions with her psychiatrist the male figures who marked her: father, teacher, husband, lover, brother, boss and friend. The story explores love in all its forms —first, conjugal, secret, adulterous— and culminates in a conquest born of showing herself as she is.
Dans ces bras-là won the Prix Femina and the Prix Renaudot des lycéens in 2000 and was translated into twelve languages.
For readers of contemporary French fiction seeking an intimate novel about love and female psychology.
Laurence Ruel, known by her pen name Camille Laurens, is a French writer and winner of the 2000 Prix Femina for Dans ces bras-là. Laurens is a member of the Académie Goncourt.
