Title : With the body she has... - Christine Orban - book
Summary :
She is twenty years old, and her first novel has just been accepted by a publisher. That summer day by the sea should have been the happiest of her life, if Father-in-Law hadn't reduced her to a body whose only asset was beauty. Standing over her, he said to her in front of all the guests: "With the body she has, it's going to be easy for her..." These words would shatter her existence for years and bring her to the brink of the abyss. In this novel, Christine Orban explores, with great sensitivity and Fitzgeraldian overtones, the "invisible wounds" of a young woman, and her difficulty in being herself in a world where appearances and male domination triumph.
