Irina, a Russian Opera, by Anouar Benmalek Ed. Emmanuelle Collas, 482 p. (Cécile Pivot, Femme Actuelle, Sept. 2025)
A Russian heroine. In the Leningrad of 1978, life is harsh, yet Irina lives for but one thing: to become a great soprano. Walid, an Algerian scholarship student nearing the end of his thesis, lives only for Irina. Many surprises and disappointments lie in wait for the young woman, who remains deeply devoted to Vladimir, her beloved grandfather.
The tragic, romantic, and imagined destinies of these three characters collide with the broader history of Russia—most notably that of Kazakhstan in the 1930s, when the policy of forced settlement was enacted by the Russians with unparalleled cruelty. History never ceases to repeat itself, whispers the Franco-Algerian novelist, author of Love in the Time of Scoundrels.
