WOMANS BATTLES AND TRANSFORMATIONS (PB)

One day, Edouard Louis finds a photograph of his mother from twenty years ago: a happy young woman, full of hopes and dreams. But growing up, Edouard only knew his mother's sadness, then, at the age of forty-five, Edouard's mother freed herself from this life of oppression, to start a new one in Paris. A Woman's Battles and Transformations reckons with the cruel systems that govern our lives. A tender portrait of a mother and an honouring of her self-discovery as she chooses to live on her own terms.
