Title: Ma vie sans moi, roman
Description: "The pact I signed had given me the power to rid myself of what was most troublesome to me. Yet it was necessary to have a precise awareness of what had hitherto spoiled my life. How many burdens have been carried over many years without knowing it, sometimes even by ending by loving its executioners and the causes of its misfortunes! It was s necessary to reflect on it, for time might fail me, and I should choose, without deceiving myself, what I could correct, select what I had the most desire to throw overboard. " In the nineteenth book, My Life Without Me, novel, Nathalie Rheims surrenders more than ever, and continues the approach taken in Laisser les cendres s'envoler (2014) and Place Colette (2016), her last two novels published by Éditions Léo Scheer.--Translation of page 4 of cover by Babelio.
