Book 54, 2023; As the Eagle Flies by Nolwenn Le Blevennec. Described as a cross between Annie Ernaux and Woody Allen this first-person novella tells the story of a woman having an affair. Written in a wry and dry style, it’s full of frustrations and furies. And it’s very French. Published by the always-reliable Pereine Press, which specialises in translated fiction. @bookstadon#fiction#books
