A Womans Battles and Transformations is a portrait of the authors mother by the acclaimed writer of the international bestsellers The End of Eddy and History of Violence. One day, Édouard Louis finds a photograph of his mother from twenty years ago. A picture of a happy young woman full of hopes and dreams. Growing up, Édouard knew only his mothers sadness, as she found herself trapped in the humdrum life of a housewife, and her struggles against the dominant world of men. What happened in those years since the photo was taken? Then, at the age of forty-five, his mother frees herself from this oppression. She leaves her husband and her old life behind to start anew in Paris. A Womans Battles and Transformations is Édouard Louiss most tender book yet. It reckons with the cruel systems that govern our lives, with politics and powerand with the possibility of escape. It is an exquisite and loving portrait of a mother, and an honoring of her self-discovery and liberation as she chooses to live on her own terms.
