Agnès Martin-Lugand: “I am very happy and proud that my books have reached Armenian readers” (video)

Now, Armenian readers can enjoy “Happiness Hanging by a Thread”, another deeply emotional novel by Martin-Lugand. In this story, she breathes new life into Iris, a woman who has lost her vitality, become bitter, and felt spiritually drained—until her passion for fashion reignites her spirit.

"It all started with an Instagram post by Hasmik Arakelyan, the Armenian translator of my novel. When I saw it, I thought, wow. A wave of emotions swept over me. The novel continues its journey."

"I feel immense joy and pride knowing that my books have reached Armenian readers. It’s incredibly moving to communicate with my translator because she spent countless hours with my characters. Thanks to her, my thoughts and emotions are now accessible to Armenian readers."

As in “Happy People Read and Drink Coffee”, Martin-Lugand’s new book delicately explores human emotions, uncovering the most tender and vulnerable aspects of her characters. With subtle yet powerful storytelling, her protagonists immediately resonate with readers, making their struggles and triumphs deeply personal.

"I believe that hard work, honesty, and staying true to myself are the keys to my success. I write from within, expressing what I feel. Every year, I publish a new novel, and each time, I delve deeper into human psychology, discovering new facets of it and of myself. This connection is what I believe draws readers to my work."

"I am thrilled that “Happiness Hanging by a Thread” has been translated into Armenian. Thank you to Newmag for making this possible."

Set in France, amidst the world of Parisian high fashion, the novel follows Iris as she takes risks, defies expectations, and reclaims her professional passion and personal happiness. With her compelling character, Martin-Lugand invites readers on a journey of self-discovery, proving that it’s never too late to change your life and follow your dreams.
