Shumona Sinha, born in Calcutta, learned French at the age of twenty-two. Since then, she considers this language as her “vital language”, the one that freed her, saved her, brought her back to life.
Came to live in France at the age of twenty-eight, author of five novels all written in French, she recounts her itinerary, strewn with disappointments: as the years go by, she retains the image of an exiled woman, a foreigner in a country that she believed that of his emancipation.
