THE novel Gabriële by Anne Berest and Claire Berest, translated by Tina Kover, was inspired by the life of the authors’ grandmother. In 1908, a young French woman meets a Spanish artist, and, moving in avant-garde society in Paris, they become involved in a love triangle with the Cubist and Dadaist Marcel Duchamp (him of the upended urinal, Fountain) (Europa Editions, £18.99 (£17.10); 978-1-78770-569-2).
