Emmanuelle Bayamack-Tam えまにゅえる ばやまっくたむ Winner

Set inside a religious commune, the novel lets daughter, father, and mother each take the floor to trace relationships shaped by gender, family, faith, and a lingering sense of apocalypse. It follows bodily change and self-discovery through a three-sided perspective that mixes humor with unease.

A family story takes on unexpected shape between faith and transformation.
