Rose and Solange are lifelong friends, growing up together in the Basque region of France in the 1980s. Their paths are intertwined, yet they enter adulthood on radically different footing: Rose, who prizes stability above all else, moves to Bordeaux to study psychology and remains committed to her childhood sweetheart, Christian; rebellious Solange shakes off her old connections and moves from Bordeaux to Paris to London in pursuit of a life on the stage.

In How to Make a Woman, we follow the young women’s experiences of adolescence, love, sex, work and motherhood, as they negotiate their places in the world and find their own versions of fulfilment.

Written with humour and heart, Marie Darrieussecq’s latest novel is an electrifying, sometimes brutal portrait of female friendship and of two identities under construction, by ‘one of the most original voices in contemporary French literature’ (Times Literary Supplement).

Recensioni della critica

‘Darrieussecq is one of the most prolific and distinguished living writers in France with a truly impressive body of work.’ — Samantha Harvey, Guardian ‘Susan Sontag once wrote: “To be a woman is to be an actress. Being feminine is a kind of theatre”. In How to Make a Woman Marie Darrieussecq explores this proposition, pulling back the curtain on the charades of femininity with clarity and empathy.’ — Alice Blackhurst, Times Literary Supplement 'A lucid, clear-eyed and strangely comforting novel about the paths two friends take away from each other. Rose and Solange are like bright stars burning in the night sky.' — Amina Cain, author of Indelicacy
