Overview of The Red Sofa (The French List) Book

In The Red Sofa, we meet Anne, a young woman setting off on the Trans-Siberian Railway in order to find her former lover, Gyl, who left twenty years before. As the train moves across post-Soviet Russia and its devastated landscapes, Anne reflects on her past with Gyl and their patriotic struggles, as well as on the neighbor she has just left behind, Cl mence Barrot.Rocked by the train s movements Anne is moved by her memory of Cl mence, who is old and whose memory is failing, but who has not lost her taste for life and adventure. Ensconced on her red sofa at home, Cl mence loves to tell Anne her life story, mourning lost loved ones and celebrating the lives of brave, rebellious women who went before her. Eventually, Anne s train trip returns her home having not found Gyl, but having found something much more meaningful herself. A luminous novel about desire, a clear text about the joy of living.
