She calls herself a “near-perfect mother”; to her husband, she is a “peerless mother.” Yet one day, Marlyne Principaux drowns her three children in the bath before arranging their bodies in her bed. This is the horror story that underpins Marie NDiaye’s new novel, Vengeance Is Mine. But as shocking as these details are, Ndiaye pivots from them to focus instead on a more oblique drama involving the lawyer enlisted to defend the accused woman.

Marcel Proust, André Malraux, Elsa Triolet, Simone de Beauvoir, Tahar Ben Jelloun, Michel Houellebecq, Leïla Slimani… All these authors have one thing in common: that of having been winners of the Goncourt Prize. A prize awarded for the first time in 1903 which, beyond the prestige it confers, helps boost the sales of a publishing house. “It multiplies the initial sales of a book on average by seven”notes Bruno Caillet, director of distribution at Madrigall, the parent company of Gallimard.
