Divorce à la Française

A 'French-style divorce' is no elegant French garden — it is a battlefield! Antoine, a brilliant surgeon, and Margaux, a celebrated novelist, once loved each other and had two children. But when the marriage ends, a brutal war for child custody begins. As testimony from family, lovers, accountants, and publishers piles up before the Family Court Judge, the truth slips away. Written as a dizzying, multi-perspective clash of testimonies and transcripts, Éliette Abécassis delivers a ruthless and breathtaking trial of the modern couple, fiction, and society itself.
