Cathy M
Caty M. was born in Paris and has lived in Brive, Corrèze, for 27 years. From a family of writers, she chose dance over writing. Curious to visit other countries and experience new cultures, she traveled extensively for work. At 40, she left her career to pursue a different path. A few years later, she began writing for her grandchildren under a pseudonym. In her younger years, she had heard a rumor, the kind that sometimes circulates in the countryside. With a little imagination, and with time, she turned it into a novel... a blend of reality and fiction.
A terrible rumor has been circulating for a long time in an isolated rural area. A woman is involved, and it continues for years like a curse passed down from mother to daughter… What happened in 1940? How can everything change so drastically when a woman can't find her place? When feelings become entangled, it's difficult to live one's life, especially when one discovers that the forbidden is so pleasurable. Can one love without having known maternal affection? Then love can breed jealousy if it seems unattainable. “Since I had so often been called the Bohemian, this was the perfect opportunity to show myself as I truly was! Mother exclaimed when she saw me: ‘My daughter, all you need is a crystal ball!’ Then she went off towards the kitchen and returned with the old glass ball that served as a lampshade. ‘Well, now, with that, you have everything you need, you've become a true Bohemian!’”
