Roman Fleuve is a French term that refers to a literary genre of a novel that tells a story over an extended period while incorporating different subplots. The term is often used interchangeably with "family saga" in English. Nonetheless, there are other synonyms, including "long narrative," "epic narrative," and "multigenerational novel," which also describe the genre's essence. These novels typically cover multiple generations, often extensive, and their cultural, political, social, and personal lives.
