Édouard Louis is one of the most important literary voices of his
generation' Guardian One day, Édouard Louis finds a photograph of
his mother from twenty years ago: a happy young woman, full of
hopes and dreams. But growing up, Édouard only knew his mother's
sadness - what happened in those years since the photo was taken?
Then, at the age of forty-five, Édouard's mother frees herself
from this life of oppression, to start a new one in Paris. A
Woman's Battles and Transformations reckons with the cruel systems
that govern our lives - and with the possibility of escape. It is a
tender portrait of a mother, and an honouring of her self-discovery
as she chooses to live on her own terms. 'Tash Aw's sensitive
translation captures the vividness of Louis's voice... Movingly,
the book demonstrates the pain that moving from one social class to
another entails' Times Literary Supplement 'A tenderness of
observation' New York Times 'Incandescent...Louis's most hopeful
book to date' Los Angeles Times Translated from the French by Tash
