The most popular French disability books

Books about disability are written from lived experience and careful imagination. Physical, sensory and learning disabilities are part of the characters' lives without being the whole of them. These novels and memoirs deal with access, independence, prejudice and pride, and they widen any reader's view of the world. Only books in French are listed.
