The Party Wall

Catherine Leroux's debut novel, translated by Lazer Lederhendler, intricately weaves together the complex stories of siblings connected in unexpected ways. Featuring a woman with two sets of DNA due to absorbing her twin in the womb, a girl from the South who sacrifices herself for her sister, and a political couple discovering their nonidentical twin status, The Party Wall showcases Leroux's innovative storytelling. This work was short-listed for the 2016 Giller Prize and marks Leroux as a significant voice in contemporary literature.
