In the cold winter of Strasbourg, a medieval town in the North-East of France, 11-year-old Clotilde is living a quiet existence with her frail father, a Catholic priest. To the world outside, she is an adopted child-in reality, she is the bastard child of a sinful relationship. In the loneliness of her existence, she daydreams of literature and hot summers in Provence. She self-destructs with wine, cigarettes and shaving blades. Her last chance for a normal life is to migrate to Australia and live with her mother who abandoned her at birth. She is forced into a strange land where nobody understands her and where her precocious attitude leads her to the shocking truth about her existence. PRAISE FOR 'THE GIRL FROM FRANCE' 'Laurent Boulanger is a gifted writer with an acute understanding of individuals and the choices they make or have forced upon them. His writing in The Girl From France is cool, clear and unfettered by hyperbole. He brings a refreshing honesty to everything he describes, be it young Clotilde disconnected from her home, or the landscape of a country whose shape she doesn't yet understand.
