Description
The cruel account of a family forced to leave their life in the French countryside at the turn of the last century, En silence evokes a period in history in which men and women were filled with impatience, new desires, and an avidity for freedom whose dangers were as of yet undiscovered. It is in this setting that Daniel Arsand paints the portraits of three women, a mother and her two daughters, who are completely unprepared for what awaits them in the city. With his exceptional literary style, Arsand depicts the challenges they encounter as each woman struggles to adapt to her new life in a different way. En silence has been nominated for the Prix Interallié and the Prix Renaudot.
