"If you ever happen to come across this letter by chance, please don’t judge too harshly the teenager who’s writing to you at this very moment, and whom you may have long forgotten."
It’s in her parents’ house that Sophie opens the letter she wrote to herself at sixteen, before the publication of her first novel. Back then, she imagined herself as an accomplished writer, living off her pen. Twenty years later, now a French teacher and a mother of two daughters, the dreams she once held are far behind her. What happened to the young Sophie who was promised a bright future? Must one remain true to who they once were at any cost to be proud of who they’ve become? Addressing the teenager she once was, she retraces her journey as a woman, which, from hopes to disillusionments, from female rivalries to deep friendships, has led her away from writing.
With disarming sincerity and undeniable literary courage, Anne-Sophie Brasme transforms the memories of her formative years into a true novel, that of a woman who, little by little, learns to inhabit her life.
