French Book Club - Passagères de nuit

Join our French Book Club for an engaging discussion around Passagères de nuit by Yanik Nahens, winner of the 2025 Grand Prix de l’Académie Française. This moving and introspective novel explores themes of memory, identity, transmission, and human connection.

Set in the fragile space between night and day, Passagères de nuit follows intertwined inner journeys shaped by memories, family bonds, and unspoken emotions. Through a subtle and poetic narrative, the novel captures moments of solitude, reflection, and quiet transformation. As past and present echo one another, the story offers a sensitive exploration of how personal histories are carried forward, reshaped, and sometimes healed. Both intimate and universal, the novel invites readers to slow down and listen to the voices that inhabit us.
