Le consentement

In the mid-1980s, raised by a divorced mother and a largely absent father, thirteen-year-old V. meets G., a celebrated writer of fifty, at a dinner. Captivated by his charisma and attention, she gives herself to him body and soul at fourteen. Only later does she grasp the truth: behind the flattering image of the man of letters hides a sexual predator, shielded by part of the literary world. More than thirty years on, Vanessa Springora delivers a searing, lucid memoir of psychological manipulation, turning the hunter’s own weapon against him by trapping him in a book.
