In The Red Sofa, we meet Anne, a young woman setting off on the
Trans-Siberian Railway in order to find her former lover, Gyl, who
left twenty years before. As the train moves across post-Soviet
Russia and its devastated landscapes, Anne reflects on her past
with Gyl and their patriotic struggles, as well as on the neighbor
she has just left behind, Clemence Barrot. Rocked by the train's
movements Anne is moved by her memory of Clemence, who is old and
whose memory is failing, but who has not lost her taste for life
and adventure. Ensconced on her red sofa at home, Clemence loves to
tell Anne her life story, mourning lost loved ones and celebrating
the lives of brave, rebellious women who went before her.
Eventually, Anne's train trip returns her home having not found
Gyl, but having found something much more meaningful herself. "A
luminous novel about desire, a clear text about the joy of living."
Prix Pierre Mac Orlan 2007
