he leido las criticas al personaje protagonista sobre hacer cosplay de pobreza y consumir cuerpos. Y si. pero como analisis de como que te quiten tu lugar en la sociedad como mujer y como madre te lleva al nihilismo es curioso. No creo que lo recomiende tampoco

Denna bok, författad av Constance Debré, är en starkt skriven berättelse om att lämna sitt gamla liv som advokat och liv i den högre medelklassen i Paris. Efter ett äktenskap som frambringat ett gemensamt barn väljer hon att lämna det livet och komma ut som lesbisk.

Hon lämnar lägenhet och alla de yttre bevisen på ett socialt lyckat liv för att leva från dag till dag i mindre omständigheter. Samtidigt vill hon fortsätta att träffa sitt barn. Det är dock något som den tidigare mannen och det franska rättssystemet har svårt att acceptera. Mannen motsätter sig att mamman ska få träffa sin son över huvudtaget och påstår saker om hennes liv.

Samtidigt utforskar hon sitt nya liv och sin sexualitet och lever vad omgivningen anser vara ett otraditionellt liv. Constance skriver med en klar och tydlig prosa utan att vara allt för explicit. Det är verkligen en väldigt bra bok detta.

This was so damn sad. When Constance comes out to her ex-husband, he does everything in his power to prevent her from seeing their eight year old son. And so starts the years of waiting for court, for visitations that fall through.

Beautiful poetic writing, a gripping story of honesty (so much so that it feels like a diary) but I didn’t like the main character/biographer/protagonist so 🤷🏻‍♀️
