About The Safe House
The Safe House is a biographical novel which traces the story of its author’s extended family and the pervasive fear of the outside world that unites them. His great-grandparents moved to Paris from Odessa in Ukraine when anti-Semitic pogroms swept through the Russian Empire, only to be met with miserable living conditions and renewed persecution when France was occupied by German forces during the Second World War. The novel straddles the line between autobiography and fiction, and explores the way each member of Boltanski’s family was shaped by their unique upbringing.
The Safe House won the Prix Femina, a French literary award which is decided by an all-female jury, and the prize for Best French Debut Novel awarded by the literary magazine Transfuge.
