Julie Wolkenstein, born in 1968, teaches comparative literature at Caen University. In L’Excuse, her fifth novel, she paints a magnificent portrait of an older woman with sensitivity and humour. Picking over her memories, Lise, the narrator, discovers that she did not determine the course of her own life and that her story is actually an exact reproduction of that of a fictional character. As a game of mirrors and connections, L’Excuse is a dazzling live story haunted by the tutelary figure of Henry James.
