Used book – Mère et filles, Madeleine Chapsal

When Antoinette, following a heart attack, was taken in by Eliane, the elder of her daughters, who would have predicted that a merciless war would break out between the two sisters? Yet, it is indeed a war, where old rivalry and jealousy will be unleashed, fueled by their differences, their tastes, their ways of living or raising children, without the men in their lives being able to intervene. "Mothers and daughters never leave each other," wrote the great psychoanalyst Françoise Dolto. Around this conviction, the novelist of The House of Jade and So Loved, So Alone tells us about what makes up all families: the inability to live without each other - and the difficulty of living together.
