Inventories
by Claire Sibille, winner of the Unpublished Novel Prize, published on February 11, 2022 by Éditions Novice.
His favorite quote:
I want to get rid little by little of each tiny object, of each shred of life, of each other that has inhabited me. What a utopia! Already, today, I look in the mirror and I see no one.
Why this book?
Because it's a women's novel.
A novel in which we follow three generations marked by a tragedy that has upset and transformed their lives.
It is a look of mother(s) and daughter(s) on their life course.
Because
Inventories
speaks of things left unsaid,
of missed meetings between committed women, bound by guilt.
Because this book is the winner of the second Unpublished Novel Prize
, launched in 2020 by Timothé Guillotin, a 24-year-old young Parisian publisher sensitive to the difficulty that authors encounter in getting published and convinced that a book refused by publishing houses he traditional edition is not necessarily a bad book.

Claire Sibille is a psychotherapist.

This book was read with
a little distance, curiously.
Because despite a delicate subject, we do not always manage to feel empathy for the characters.
However, it is interesting to follow the journey of these three women marked by destiny.
