VANDA (BITTER LEMON PRESS) (PB)

Vanda is in her thirties, her arms covered in tats, her skin so dark that some in Marseille take her for a North African. She works as a cleaner and lives in a derelict shed by the beach. And yet, living with her six-year-old son Now, she is happy. Everything changes when Simon, the father of her son, surfaces. He left Vanda seven years earlier, not knowing that she was pregnant. When he demands custody, the rage Vanda has managed to bank threatens to explode. Translated from the French.
