After a difficult separation, Marc moves and hopes for a fresh start; but he soon realizes that something is wrong with his new house... Clémence, Maxime, Axelle, Marie-Claire... have all lived in the same place before and they, too, have very bad memories of it: depression, grief, violence, madness... The same house, several eras, several characters, but only one question: is this place cursed? A choral novel, blending psychology and esotericism, where each character, in their own way, will be confronted with unease, misfortune, an obsession... never at the same time, but always in the same place. Are these ghost stories or mental health issues? Perhaps it will be up to you, the readers, to decide! Publication date: December 2, 2024 Order Press release
From May 2023 to May 2024, the author of this essay recorded the moments when she was a victim or witness of sexism. A logbook where, day after day, doubts, humor, prejudices, statistics, and personal, family, and professional experiences intertwine; all enriched by documentary, literary, advertising, and media resources... Thus, for an entire year, everything is dissected, and yet it all stemmed from a simple question: "Is sexism truly everywhere in France today?" Reading this essay may provide the answer to that question. Publication date: September 1, 2024. Order Press release
Starting with a seemingly innocuous phrase like "You're lucky, he's helping you!", the author of this essay sheds light on the overwhelming reality of women's situations regarding motherhood, access to employment, housing, and, above all, access to the same rights as men. It addresses the expression of a deep-seated frustration all too often silenced by society, and the trivialization of the current difficulties of being a woman and a mother. This essay, intended to be both intimate and indignant, blends personal and professional experiences with documentary and statistical sources. Its aim is to make the general public reflect on the expectations placed on women and mothers regarding their status as lucky and privileged when they approach an egalitarian model.
