Tether - Sarah Jollien-Fardel - książka

Opis

Each morning, Rose finds herself confined within a wood-paneled room, a situation that has bound her since a life-changing day three years ago. It was then that police informed her of the tragic death of her cherished daughter, Anna. From that moment, Rose's existence became anchored in the past, constantly replaying the events that led to this heartbreak and searching for the precise point when everything began to disintegrate. Through her memories, we glimpse the life she once built with her husband in the charming yet rugged Alpine valley they called home. Their relationship blossomed over shared passions for literature and nature, continuing as they became students in Lausanne, eventually married, grew their careers, and celebrated the arrival of Anna. Rose recalls what seemed like a peaceful, fulfilled life, yet she continues to delve into the underlying cracks and seeks to grasp the chaos that led her to this state of confinement. Then, Rose hears a voice beyond her door; a woman is reading to her, introducing a glimmer of hope that she may not be completely isolated and that an escape from her despair could be possible. "Tether" delivers a powerful narrative about the quiet devastation of violence and its repercussions, offering a vivid portrayal of the complexities of womanhood and motherhood while deeply examining the boundless nature of love and its potential to drive us to unforeseen limits.
