In 'La señorita Haas', Michèle Audin constructs a moving choral novel that intertwines the lives of thirteen women, all with the surname Haas, in France from 1934 to 1941. The novel explores radicalization, the rise of fascism, World War II, and the deportation of Jews to extermination camps. Audin combines memory and chronicle with formal inventiveness, using different narrative perspectives in each chapter, in the style of the OuLiPo group. The result is an authentic representation of common women, young workers who face harassment, difficult family situations, brutalizing labor, and the silent tragedy of their lives.
