Used book – Le Viol du silence, Eva Thomas

"With his father's mouth, with his devil's tongue smelling of sulfur, he had burned the foreign language. He had burned it so that it would never speak of those kisses." Raped by her father one night when she was fifteen, Marie stops living, except to suffer. Anorexia, infertility, depression. Stuck in a silence that slowly consumes her, Marie struggles to become a woman, a mother, a full human being. One day, after a thousand rebellions, she dares to speak, to name the evil, to untie the bonds that have rendered her mute. A palpable proof of the power of words, a sensitive, painful story, vibrant with love and hope.
