«L'Empreinte de l'ange» is the novel by Nancy Huston, published by Actes Sud in paperback (328 pages, in French).
Saffie, a young German woman newly arrived in Paris, agrees to marry Raphaël, a musician fascinated by her silence. Even motherhood does not break her muteness: only the encounter with András, a luthier who knows how to speak with silence, awakens her emotions and reveals a secret. It is a postwar love story about memory and passions.
The novel won the Grand Prix des Lectrices de Elle and the Prix des libraires du Québec, and was nominated for the Giller Prize in 1999. It is part of the collection «Un endroit où aller».
For readers of literary and historical fiction, interested in love stories set in France.
