Hi, I am trying to get into French fiction as the title suggests. Although, I would be able to read translations only as I have not yet mastered French. Can anyone recommend novels of any genre( preferably by French women) ?
Thanks in advance.

M. Duras, The lover
F.
Sagan, Bonjour tristesse
Anna Gavalda “Ensemble c’est tout” or anything else by her
A Winter’s Promise by Christelle Dabos – fantasy
I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman – she’s Belgian but wrote in French and that novel is excellent!
Mothers Instinct by Barbara Abel
The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbary
Anything by Amelie Nothomb; however, she’s Belgian but she writes in French and grew up in Japan.
