The "Elle" readers' prize for 2019, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, was awarded to Adeline Dieudonné and Jesmyn Ward, respectively published by L'Iconoclaste and Belfond.
Two women tied for the 50th Elle Women's Grand Prix. At the award ceremony, June 3 in Paris, Adeline Dieudonné and Jesmyn Ward were distinguished in the category "novel" respectively for "La vraie vie" (The Iconoclast) and "Le chant des revenants" at Belfond .
Winner of the Fnac novel awards, First Pen, Filigranes and Renaudot of high school students 2018, Adeline Dieudonné portrayed in her first novel, "La vraie vie", the lugubrious and boring daily life of a young girl. Her father, passionate about hunting, exposes his stuffed animals and his elephant defense in one of the rooms of the house. Her mother is transparent, non-existent. So, with her brother Gilles, she plays in the car carcasses of the casse while waiting for the arrival of the ice truck. Until today when a serious accident disturbs the daily life of his family.
For her part, Jesmyn Ward captivated readers of the women's magazine with the song of the ghosts, the story of Jojo, 13 years old. The boy takes care of the farm and takes care of his little sister and grandmother. When his father gets out of prison, he rehases his questions about what a man is. Known as "William Faulkner Contemporary" by Lee Daniels, Jesmyn Ward has twice won the National Book Award for her novel "Bois sauvage" in 2011 and "Le chant des revenants" in 2017, translated into French by Charles Recoursé.
