Heart of Adelaide: [novel] / Chloe Delom; Translated from French. — M.: Alpina Publisher, 2024. — 192 pages. After seven years of living together, Adelaide breaks up with her partner to start anew. Tired of routine in her relationships, she wants to finally meet the one — the only one with whom she will again plunge into her fifteen-year-old self. But Adelaide is forty-six, and she realizes with horror that her chances of finding a partner and getting married are rapidly decreasing in the marriage market. Torn between the desire to end loneliness and to live up to the ideal of a strong and independent woman, Adelaide embarks on a quest for love, encountering on this path both absurd and tragicomic situations. But whatever her love adventures turn out to be, her friends will always be by her side, and that is the main thing. In this elegantly written story, Chloe Delom attentively listens to the heart of her heroine, beating in tune with the modern world. A bright, avant-garde, and ironic novel that in 2020 was awarded the Médicis Prize.
