A Web of Lace by Pascal Lainé
A spare, haunting portrait of a quiet, working-class young woman whose shy reserve and delicate interior life collide with the cosmopolitan world of an intellectual man she briefly loves; their uneasy liaison exposes class divides and miscommunication, and when he drifts away she unravels into isolation and emotional collapse, the novel tracing with compassionate clarity how small cruelties and misunderstanding can destroy a fragile life.
