About the Book

From Goncourt Prize-winning author Jérôme Ferrari, a bewitching story of passion, death, and love, and a powerful reflection on the ambiguous relationship between art and reality Born in a small town in Corsican countryside, Antonia grows up in a place of deeply-rooted traditions and strong family ties. When she's fourteen, her uncle, a priest, gives her a camera--suddenly changing the way she looks at the world and igniting a passion that will prompt her to become a photojournalist. Over two decades later, Antonia is walking around the port of Calvi when she runs into Dragan, a soldier whom she had met when she was reporting on the war in the former Yugoslavia. The two spend the entire night in deep conversation, reminiscing about their experience of the conflict. Shortly after saying goodbye, as she drives home Antonia loses control of her car, plunges off a cliff and is killed instantly. Tasked with officiating his niece's funeral, Antonia's uncle is forced to reflect on her life and legacy, and on the profound questions they beg about ambition and doubt, passion and guilt, representation and reality. Wide in scope but rich in detail, restrained yet deeply moving, In His Own Image masterly weaves together the story of an individual life with universal themes that resonate across time and space.

Review :
"Luminous."--La République des livres "Masterly."--Grazia "There is as much violence as there is poetry."--Femme actuelle "Moral questions take on human form in Ferrari's stunning narrative."--Kirkus Reviews "The winner of the 2012 Goncourt Prize offers a profound reflection on our relationship to images-- our obsession with documenting even the worst abuses, no matter how pointless that act might seem."--Focus Vif "A resounding success."--France Culture "Magnificent."--Valeurs actuelles "A powerful story that will stun readers."--Théâtre(s) "Metaphorical, musical, and absolutely enrapturing."--Madame Figaro "A dark and delicate portrait of a woman's life."--Le Monde de la Photo "A sweeping and powerful story."--Sud-Ouest " Complex and moving."--L'Humanité "Powerful and deeply affecting: from Corsica to the former Yugoslavia, a universal story that weaves together personal narratives and the great storms of history."--Simple things
