Mon Petit is a powerful and emotional debut novel that takes us through the streets of Belleville in the 1990s, following the frenzied footsteps of a young girl who is forced to grow up more quickly than others.<\/b><\/p>\n
Na\u00eblle grows up in two homes because her mother is a nurse and can\u2019t raise her four children on her own. So she and her siblings live part of the time with their grandmother in her social housing on Rue Piat and the other part of the time with their mother at the Porte de Montreuil. It\u2019s her grandmother that really raises her and so Na\u00eblle is devastated when she leaves Paris for the quieter countryside.<\/p>\n
Left to her own devices Na\u00eblle falls in love with Gustave with his green eyes and new Nikes, and becomes a mother at 19. But hers is not the fairytale ending; there is drama hovering nearby that will change everything.<\/p>\n
Mon Petit is a novel about women who don\u2019t dare to speak out and defend themselves. It\u2019s about how one decision can change the rest of your life. How you can be trapped in the socio-conomical setting you were born into and manage to survive that. In short, Mon Petit is a literary force that packs an emotional punch.<\/p>\n
