Before she was born, Annie Ernaux's parents had another daughter who died at the age of six from diphtheria. Translated into English for the first time, The Other Girl explores the meaning of this family secret, which Annie only discovered by chance as a child and never discussed with her parents again.

A brilliantly imaginative epic novel of a small place by Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Olga Tokarczuk, one of the most daring and ambitious novelists at work today.
