Used Book - *Elle n'était pas d'ici* by Patrick Poivre d'Arvor

In January 1995, Patrick Poivre d’Arvor deeply moved millions of viewers when he appeared on screen the day after his daughter Solenn’s suicide. Already, in “Letters to the Absent One,” he had shared with us, with touching simplicity, the dialogue between a father and his anorexic daughter. This book brought him a large amount of correspondence from patients, or their loved ones, who expressed their gratitude for him testifying to what they were experiencing.

With the same sincerity and discretion, he tells us here what grief was – what it still is. These pages, written haphazardly during a train journey, or in the rare moments of inaction of a man who chose to immerse himself in work to avoid suffering, have an unforgettable ring of truth. "If this suffering, which was ours, can help all those who have been or will be confronted with bulimia or anorexia," writes Véronique Poivre d’Arvor in the preface, "then Solenn will not have died in vain."
