«Le sommeil délivré» is the novel by Andrée Chedid, published by Editions 84 in paperback (252 pages, in French).
The novel follows a woman whose life is marked from childhood by a marriage arranged at fifteen, a union that drives her into silence and the loss of dreams. In a village beside a branch of the Nile, the protagonist witnesses her own fate with barely any way out. Chedid rescues that silenced voice with sober prose.
The work was originally published in 1952. This paperback edition, published in 2000, includes the complete text in French.
For readers of twentieth-century French fiction interested in portraits of the female condition.
Andrée Chedid, born Andrée Saab Khoury, was an Egyptian-French poet and novelist of Lebanese and Syrian descent. She is the recipient of numerous literary awards and was made a Grand Officer of the French Legion of Honour in 2009.
