Goncourt Prize 1995 - Goncourt Prize for High School Students 1995 - Medici Prize 1995
"I remembered that one day, in a humorless joke, Charlotte had told me that after all her travels across immense Russia, coming to France on foot would be no impossibility for her [...]. At first, during long months of misery and wandering, my crazy dream would closely resemble this bravado. I would imagine a woman dressed in black who, in the very early hours of a dark winter morning, would enter a small border town [...]. She would push open the door of a café at the corner of a narrow, sleepy square, sit down by the window, next to a radiator. The landlady would bring her a cup of tea. And looking, beyond the glass, at the tranquil faces of the half-timbered houses, the woman would murmur softly: "This is France... I have returned to France. After... after a whole life.""
