«Les vendanges tardives» is the novel by French writer Françoise Dorin, published by Pocket in paperback (279 pages, in French).
Two photographs frame the story: in the first, La Châtain, la Brune and la Rouquine are three teenagers posing as runners; in the second, forty years later, they repeat the pose. In between, the novel traces their lives, loves, marriages, children and disappointments, until a reunion makes them reconsider how they face ageing.
The novel was originally published in 1997; the Pocket edition corresponding to this ISBN was released on 4 May 1998.
For readers of novels about female friendship and the passage of time, as well as for those seeking contemporary French fiction in its original language.
