The best debut novel of the season is a film. Jeune femme. There are no clichéd scenes, no banal dialogue. Lettmotif had the bright idea of publishing the screenplay. We recommend it to anyone who is despairing of the Goncourt Prize shortlist. Above all, we suggest you rush to the cinema, because Jeune Femme is not literature, it is a film that packs a punch, just like its heroine, Paula, and the woman who portrays her, Laetitia Dosch.
