De Quelques Idées Symboliques Se Rattachant Au Nom Des Douze Fils De Jacob...

Hannelore Cayre

A French crime novel about a court interpreter who works on wiretap translations for drug cases and, under financial strain and with a sharp view of institutional hypocrisy, makes an unexpected turn into crime. Its brisk voice and dark humor unsettle the boundary between justice and illegality.

Work Information

A hardworking woman steps lightly across the line opened by society's contradictions.

Hannelore Cayre's La Daronne is a crime novel published by Métailié in 2017. A female court interpreter, pushed by inside knowledge of drug trafficking and her own precarious life, slips from the side of the law into crime. Winner of honors including the 2017 Grand Prix de littérature policière and later adapted for film, the original edition has ISBN-13 9791022606073 and ISBN-10 1022606077. Because the ISBN begins with 979, no Japanese paperback ASIN cross-fill was applied.

Review Summaries

  • The book is valued as a nimble crime story that sharply satirizes inequality in justice and labor. Its appeal lies in turning the protagonist's moral drift into a brisk, liberating narrative rather than a heavy confession.
