This year, in the twelve selected feminine novels, a common obsession: find the truth. No matter the cost. History of love, family or work - what matters to neuroses or secrets. Each author, tearing the veil of appearances or modesty, has plunged his gaze into the heart of things, sometimes bleeding, but - vitality, humor and talent oblige - preserved from ease and pathos.
