30 years ago, Vanessa Springora was the teenage muse of one of France's most celebrated writers, a footnote in the narrative of an influential man. At the end of 2019, as women around the world began to speak out, Springora, now in her 40s and the director of one of France's leading publishing houses, decided to reclaim her own story. Devastating in its honesty, Springora's painstaking memoir lays bare the cultural attitudes and circumstances that made it possible for a 13-year-old girl to become involved with a 50-year-old man. Drawing parallels between children's fairy tales, French history and the author's personal life, this work offers intimate insights into the meaning of love and consent, the toll of trauma and the power of healing in women's lives.
