Recs if you like A Woman's Story...

(famous) authors writing about their mothers (or their (complicated) relationships with their mothers)

memoirs & non-fiction

French classics that are not 1500 pages long and written 200 years ago. They are accessible, modern and relevant ! In summary, this is a list of French books of the XX c. and XXI c. of less than 400 pages. (Except The Second Sex but it is too culturally important not to put it in a list like that...)

(This list is purely based on what I know and have read. Feel free to suggest new books to add.)

Non fiction books that doesn't feel like reading nonfic at all!!
