Description

At 35 years old, Ella is no longer excited by her academic career in France and has not found love. Following the unexpected death of her father, she is thrown into crisis, but then she meets the enigmatic Max.

Advance Praise

“The emotional force of Helen Mundler’s elegiac meditation on longing and belonging will resonate with anyone who has entered another culture and put down roots, or dreamed of doing so. L’Anglaise is an intelligent, finely-wrought exploration of what home means to those who leave and those who stay. In graceful prose it speaks of love engendered, lost, mourned and renewed; of shadows cast and cast off; of how time illuminates, and forgiveness sets us free.” Liz Jensen, author of The Ninth Life of Louis Drax, The Uninvited, Ark Baby, etc


"An intense, unsettling and unflinchingly honest novel" James Wilson, author of The Bastard Boy, The Woman in the Picture, etc.
