L{\textquoteright}empreinte de l{\textquoteright}ange\ (1998) and\ Lignes de faille\ (2006), two novels by Nancy Huston, deal with several major conflicts of the 20th century, while introducing narrators and characters of various origins. This paper studies how these {\textquotedblleft}romans m{\'e}moriels{\textquotedblright} question a pluralistic memory and intertwined{\textemdash}sometimes conflicting{\textemdash}narratives. By her choice of representing tragedies which affected very different peoples, Nancy Huston seems to suggest that none belongs to a national memory, but that all take part into an international memory undertaken by a {\textquotedblleft}litt{\'e}rature-monde{\textquotedblright} released of its boundaries and national belonging criterion.
