«Metroland» is the novel by Julian Barnes, published by Denoël in paperback (264 pages, in French).
Christopher Lloyd grows up in the suburbs of London and, as an adult, settles in Paris, where his peaceful life is disrupted by visits from his friend Toni. Between youthful memories, doubts about marriage and reflections on happiness, the novel portrays with humour and irony the sentimental education of a young Englishman.
The novel, originally published in 1980, won the Somerset Maugham Award in 1981. This French edition, translated by Jean-Pierre Aoustin, belongs to the Empreinte collection.
Recommended for those who appreciate British literature and coming-of-age stories set between London and Paris.
