«Petite musique des adieux» is the novel by Jennifer Johnston, published by 10/18 in paperback (248 pages, in French).
Clara and Lar cross paths by chance in Dublin, two people wounded by life. Politics, religion and their temperaments separate them, but the encounter is charged with tensions, misunderstandings and an unexpected hope. In two voices, Jennifer Johnston narrates how a fortuitous crossing can gradually alter the characters' destinies.
The novel was originally published in English as «The Gingerbread Woman» in 2000. This French edition from 2004 includes the translation by Anne Damour.
For readers of literary fiction and book clubs interested in contemporary Ireland and intimate character-driven stories.
