«Uma Vida Francesa» is the novel by Jean-Paul Dubois published by Edições Asa in paperback, with 304 pages, in Portuguese.
The novel follows Paul Blick over five decades of French society, from Charles de Gaulle to Jacques Chirac, and portrays with irony his family and sentimental life: marital crises, lovers, the difficult relationship with his children, and an unstable professional career. It is a mosaic of the French lower middle class and its contradictions, starring an anti-hero.
The work is the Portuguese translation of the French original «Une vie française» (2004), which won the Prix Femina and the Prix du roman Fnac in that same year.
For readers of contemporary fiction who appreciate family sagas with a historical backdrop.
Jean-Paul Dubois is a French journalist and author. He won the Prix Goncourt in 2019 for Tous les hommes n'habitent pas le monde de la même façon, a novel told from the perspective of a prisoner looking back on life. The jury compared Dubois to John Irving and William Boyd, who wrote books that were both popular and critical successes.
