Her debut novel, Rapatriement, which has been translated into Italian as Rimpatrio (Feltrinelli Gramma, 2026) and into English as Repatriation (Foundry Editions, 2026), draws freely from her own experiences. It won the Prix Goncourt for a First Novel in 2024 and earned nominations for several major literary awards, including the Prix de la Version Femina, the Prix des Lecteurs de la Version Femina, the Grand Prix du Roman Métis, and the Prix Senghor for Best First Novel.
