The Femina literary prize 2025 goes to the a Mauritian-French author Nathacha Appanah for La Nuit au cœur (Gallimard, 2025).







La nuit au cœur intertwines three stories of women who are victims of violence at the hands of their partners. Walking the line between strength and humility, Nathacha Appanah examines the unbearable enigma of domestic femicide, when the dark night takes the place of love.
