Signing session – Rim Battal presents her novel "Je me regarderai dans les yeux"
Introduction
At 17, a time of romance novels, friendship oaths and poems by Rimbaud, a young girl smokes a cigarette in her bedroom window. This transgression triggers the violent fury of her mother, and the frightened narrator runs away. She is presented with an ultimatum: the obligation to produce a certificate of virginity. "Her first time" is a gynaecological exam by force.
How can we leave childhood behind us when we are betrayed by the adults around us?
How can we love when those who love us destroy us?
Driven by powerful writing that is also ardent and funny, Rim Battal’s story addresses first times, desire, generosity and the strength that precedes the birth of a woman and a writer.
