Cécile Martin

One doesn't become a psychologist by chance… It's an atypical, sometimes turbulent life story, and a fierce interest in the human mind that led Cécile Martin Garay to embark, later in life, on the project of returning to her studies in psychology. Over the years, the humanities have marked her path and accentuated an unwavering passion for this question: what makes humankind suffer? A graduate of Paris VII University, she specialized, after working in an institutional setting, in private practice with adult patients.

A few fragments of memories surface, known to everyone except her. The final meeting. Annou and her two brothers answered their mother's call at the vacation home that will soon be sold. For Annou, it's a farewell to the past, to the memories of a tragedy, a family collapse, that it's time to say goodbye. But she hadn't counted on what this reunion would reawaken… A brutal, powerful, and uncompromising novel.
