About this product

Product Information

Madame tells the story of a self-absorbed Polish teenager as he pursues intellectual maturity - and the woman of his dreams, his French teacher 'Madame' - in the communist-dominated Warsaw of the early 1970s. Libera paces his exuberant young hero's fulminations, fantasies and discoveries beautifully, building a remarkably subtle characterisation of a free mind in a repressive culture. This is one of those rare novels which reminds us why we love books. A consummate literary entertainment.
