And a quick glance thrown into the abyss is enough to lose oneself in it, but Delphine de Vigan decided to take this step in order to find answers to the most difficult questions related to the life of her mother. Having become one of the heroes of her novel, she and her mother walked hand in hand along the path from family joys to sorrows, from happiness to madness, from rebellion and misunderstanding to humility. “Denial of the Night” is not only a confessional novel. This is an exciting, sincere and poignant story about the endless search for a common language, which is so often lacking for both fathers and children. This novel is intriguing, fascinating, and shocking. And leaves the reader alone with difficult questions. Le Figaro “Denial of the Night” is not another sad story. It goes beyond all limits, it is life-giving and, like any tragedy, full of catharsis.Bibliobs
