This coming of age novel by the acclaimed Belgian author is âa disarmingly simple yet deeply complex study of a mother-daughter relationshipâ (The Washington Post). One of the Washington Postâs 50 Notable Works of fiction in 2018 Marie is the prettiest girl in her provincial high school, and dating the most popular boy in town. She is the envy of all her peersâand she loves it. But when she gives birth to Diane, things begin to change. Diane steals the hearts of all who meet her, inciting nothing but jealousy in her mother. This is Dianeâs story. Young and brilliant, she grows up learning about life through her relationships with other women: her best friend, the sweet Ãlisabeth; her mentor, the selfish Olivia; her sister, the beloved Célia; and, of course, her mother. It is a story about the baser sentiments that often animate human relations: rivalry, jealousy, distrust. Revered throughout Europe, Belgian novelist Amélie Nothomb has won numerous prizes, including the French Academyâs Grand Prix. In Strike Your Heart, she offers a telling adult fable about womanhood and the mother-daughter bond.
