In The Red Sofa, we meet Anne, a young woman setting off on the Trans-Siberian Railway in order to find her former lover, Gyl, who left twenty years before. As the train moves across post-Soviet Russia and its devastated landscapes, Anne reflects on her past with Gyl and their patriotic struggles, as well as on the neighbor she has just left behind, Clemence Barrot. Rocked by the train's movements Anne is moved by her memory of Clemence, who is old and whose memory is failing, but who has not lost her taste for life and adventure. Ensconced on her red sofa at home, Clemence loves to tell Anne her life story, mourning lost loved ones and celebrating the lives of brave, rebellious women who went before her. Eventually, Anne's train trip returns her home having not found Gyl, but having found something much more meaningful herself. "A luminous novel about desire, a clear text about the joy of living."

”Tack vare Michèle Lesbres prosa, som är enkel men uttrycksfull, och genomlyst av ett vemodigt, längtansfullt skimmer, blir ’Nina av en slump’ en tilltalande bok om vuxenblivande och längtan, i en motsägelsefull tillvaro.”/SVENSKA DAGBLADET ”Språket är lättläst, suggestivt och poetiskt med en språkdräkt som påminner starkt om den som Michéle Lesbre använder sig av i den utmärkta filosofiska kortromanen ’Den röda soffan’ översatt till svenska 2009.”/TIDNINGEN KULTUREN Nina är frisörlärling i Roubaix i norra Frankrike, men hon drömmer om teatern, om att vara Nina i Tjechovs ”Måsen” istället för Nina av en slump. Ninas mamma Suzy och hennes vänner arbetar på traktens enda återstående textilfabrik. Berättelsen utspelar sig under några få intensiva dagar då Nina letar efter en födelsedagspresent till sin mamma. Planerna korsas när den cyniske fabrikschefen Delplat hotar att lägga ner fabriken och tvingar fabriksarbetarna till strejk. Översättning från franska: Lotta Riad
