Paula Jacques’s novels, which in France appeal more to a popular than to an intellectual audience, might disconcert the English-language reader because of their baroque — or perhaps orientalistic — exuberance of detail and their slightly disjointed narrative, somewhat reminiscent of the so-called French “new novel” launched in the 1950s.
