The Goncourt of high school students given to Sabyl Ghoussoub for "Beirut-sur-Seine"

The young jury has rendered its verdict.

A coveted literary prize, the Goncourt des lycéens was awarded this Thursday to Sabyl Ghoussoub for her novel

published by Stock.

The announcement of the winner was made shortly before 1 p.m. from the salons of the town hall of Rennes, the cradle of the prize.

The Goncourt high school students will be given to Sabyl Ghoussoub at 7 p.m. at the Ministry of National Education.

In his second novel, the 34-year-old Franco-Lebanese journalist offers a reflection on the family and immigration, by questioning his parents who came to settle in 1975 in Paris when the war was going to ravage their country.

Sabyl Ghoussoub succeeds Clara Dupont-Monod

Three other authors were in the running to win the Goncourt for high school students: Pascale Robert-Diard for 

 published by L'iconoclaste, Nathan Devers for 

(Albin Michel) and Sarah Jollien-Fardel for 

(Sabine Wespieser editions) .

Last year, the prize was awarded to Clara Dupont-Monod for

(Stock editions), a novel about disability.
