THE VENGEANCE OF A WOMAN by Luc FRÉMIOT

THE VENGEANCE OF A WOMAN by Luc FRÉMIOT - Éditions Michalon (rue de l’École Polytechnique, Paris) - 2018 - 330 pages – Softcover; " I often repeat that most of the cases in the assize court trials contain all the components of tragedy. The most desperate acts reproduce the story of forbidden loves, hatreds that consume, betrayals, denunciations, lies and cowardice that cause the irreparable. Sometimes, in the darkest of nights, the profile of the hero is outlined in chiaroscuro, a flash of sunlight that disguises the shadows as characters in a novel, when courage and dignity mixed with suffering transform the passage to the criminal act into a path to transcendence. One day, in the courtroom, I met a woman. It is her story that I tell you today. " Can you kill your father when you have been his prey? Contemporary tragedy, account of a parricide – Luc Frémiot makes us relive an extraordinary case. A fascinating book, inspired by a sadly real story, driven by a novelistic breath that inevitably takes us to the final denouement.
