About this deal

He was a gent of strong opinions, and he shared them with those he met: "You must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life''; "be nomadic. The prose is brilliant: so real … yet suspending judgment of herself and her mother with remarkably expressive sentences. Sometimes the most wonderful books and treasures are found in the most unlikely places, aren’t they? Francine has a gift for placing the reader in the place she’s writing about, and place figures prominently in all her work.

This life's very commonness presents difficulties for her daughter who is both ashamed of her mother and aware of the immense difficulties the woman surmounted to give her daughter something better. By putting women at the front and center of the narrative and transcending their victimization, this film highlights their resilience and survival.I read this for ‘Reading Independent Publishers Month’ hosted by Kaggsy from Kaggsy’s Bookish Ramblings and Lizzy from Lizzy’s Literary Life, an event which celebrates indie publishers for the whole of February. Her willingness to provide constructive feedback has given all services a positive opportunity to effect change in the future. Ultimately, in 1992, his terms got him into mortal trouble when he ran up against something—the Alaskan wild—that didn't give a hoot about Supertramp's worldview; his decomposed corpse was found 16 weeks after he entered the bush.

In particular, focusing on the institutional and individual responses from services and professionals which the author experienced as supportive and compassionate, and which aided her recovery, and those which she experienced as less supportive and at worst re-traumatising.

I liked the final pages best in which she looks back on her mother’s last years, starting from the moment she begins to act strange until she has to live in the nursing home. This idea applies to Une Femme as well: the little girl in a Normandy town, the teenager working at a factory, the young woman sheltering her infant child from bombings during World War II, the middle-aged woman gossiping around the village as if she served men coffee — it is difficult to believe these are all the same person.
