I am translating a passage from a novel entitled 'The Woman Before Me' by Ruth Dugdall for my university course. I'm having difficulty translating the following sentence in a way that sounds natural and flowing in French.
"So, you’ve obviously fallen from grace with the powers that be."
"So, you’ve obviously fallen from grace with the powers that be."

ne plus être en odeur de sainteté
Cela reprendrait également le côté religieux de "fallen from grace". Si l'expression est un peu trop pompeuse, peut être que "ne plus avoir les faveurs de" conviendrait mieux.
