«Les filles de l’ouragan» is the novel by Joyce Maynard published by Philippe Rey in paperback, in French.
Two women are born on the same day in the same hospital, though into very different families: Ruth is an artist and a dreamer; Dana, a scientist and a pragmatist. Told in alternating voices, the novel follows their lives from the 1950s to the present day, with their first loves, motherhood, losses, and a secret that will ultimately transform their existence.
It is the French translation of The Good Daughters, originally published in 2010; the French edition appeared in 2012 and the translation is by Simone Arous.
For readers of contemporary fiction and family drama, with two female voices and a story of secrets and bonds.
