THE ART OF LOSING 
by Alice Zeniter (France)
translated by Frank Wynne

Naïma's family comes from Algeria, but she knows it only from what she experiences in her grandparents' tiny apartment in Normandy: the food her grandmother cooks, the precious things they carried when they fled. Naïma's father claims to remember nothing, has made himself French. But now, one of them is going back and Naïma will see for herself what was left behind, including the family secrets. A powerful, moving family novel that spans three generations, across seventy years and two shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
