Krátky popis
I freed myself from your father, I thought this would be a new life
for me and now it’s starting all over, everything’s starting all
over again. The blazing new book from once-in-a-generation writer
Édouard Louis, as he helps his mother escape from an abusive
partnerOne evening, during a writers’ residency in Athens, Édouard
receives a tearful phone call from his mother, Monique. She tells
him that the man she lives with in Paris is abusive, inflicting
upon her the same drunken behaviour as Édouard’s father, repeating
the same cycles of violence, shame and humiliation she fled from
before.Step by step, they plan her escape, celebrating each small
victory of Monique’s new beginning. But how do you rebuild your
life when you’ve never truly known freedom?Monique Escapes is an
intimate and gripping portrait of a mother fighting for her
self-determination, and of the son who becomes her ally. It is a
story of reinvention, the price of liberty and the remaking of the
relationship between a mother and a son who, despite the weight of
their shared history, manage to find each other again.Translated by
