De Vigan's central theme is the trauma and the damage that adult behaviour does to children. In 2011, her novel Rien ne s'oppose à la nuit (Nothing holds back the night), which deals with a family coping with a woman's bipolar disorder, won another clutch of French literary prizes, including the prix du roman Fnac,[6] the prix Roman France Télévisions,[7] the Grand prix des lectrices de Elle,[8] and the Prix Renaudot des lycéens.[2]
In 2015, she received the Prix Renaudot[9] as well as the Prix Goncourt des lycéens for D'après une histoire vraie (Based on a true story).[10] In it, the question of what truth or fiction means in the process of writing is addressed. The author befriends an enigmatic woman who slowly becomes more and more like her, while her own ability to write slips away. Roman Polański made a film of the book named Based on a True Story in 2017.[11]
In 2018, her novel Les Loyautés (Loyalties) was published, which tells the story of young Theo, who suffers from difficult family circumstances after his parents' divorce. Out of excessive demands, he begins to drink alcohol in large quantities. He falls into a fatal downward spiral, into which he drags his best friend.[12][13]
In her 2019 novel Les Gratitudes (Gratitudes), de Vigan tells of a woman who loses her speech in old age. She thinks back to the couple who rescued her, the child Mishka, from the Nazis at the time, and is increasingly filled with a desire to thank them for it after the fact.[14][15]
In her most recent novel, The Children Are Kings (2022), Vigan uses a detective story to address the lives of child influencers who are marketed to by their mother on YouTube.[16] The filming of the adaptation of the novel is currently in preparation by Disney+.[17]
