«La encajera» is the novel by Pascal Lainé, published by Argos in paperback (125 pages, in Spanish).
Pomme is a modest young woman who works as a lacemaker; Aimery, a student from an affluent background, enters her life and they begin a relationship. The difference in origins marks their coexistence, and the novel explores how love clashes with conventions and social barriers, with a sober look at identity and inequality.
The work won the Prix Goncourt and originally appeared as «La Dentellière» in 1974. This edition includes the translation from French by Carlos Pujol.
For readers of French fiction and contemporary classics seeking an intimate story about class differences and love.
