Trading Secrets by Paule Constant

Trading Secrets follows four aging women whose lives intersect around an academic conference in Kansas, where French scholar Aurore meets her American counterpart, Gloria. Darkly comic and psychologically observant, the novel contrasts French and American attitudes—around feminism, race and academia—and uses mirrored relationships to explore identity, memory and the small ways the past shapes who we become.

The 13600th greatest book of all time
