Title : Her Former Name - Hélène Lenoir - book

Summary :

When she sees him for the first time, it's on a bus: his merciless gaze entering her, just before he gets off; a few more seconds with the window between them. And then nothing. The circumstances in which they meet again by chance twenty years later don't allow them to get close to each other, and they would probably stay there if it were up to her, who has since become the wife of a notable and the mother of three children. But now he wants something. "Her former name is a magnificent reflection on the engulfment of the soul by the passage of time. What can be said about Britt, the main character? Married, she is less loved. As a mother, she is less surrounded. Rich, she is less free. The years that have passed have made her existence a mountain of sand ready to collapse at the slightest gust of wind. So, it is in what she has been that she will discover what she wants. » (Marie-Laure Delorme, Le Journal du Dimanche) « Hélène Lenoir is one of our best novelists today. Both strong and subtle. Her first three novels demonstrated the breadth of her register, the originality of her novelistic research, her power of analysis and emotion. In Son nom d'avant these literary qualities are combined with a perfect simplicity of expression. As if the choice of words, the rhythm of the sentence, the back and forth of the dialogues had effortlessly found their rightful place, their exact design. » (Pierre Lepape, Le Monde)
