The devastating and powerful memoir from a French publisher who was
abused by a famous writer from the age of thirteen 'Dazzling' New
York Times 'A gut-punch of a memoir with prose that cuts like a
knife' Kate Elizabeth Russell, author of My Dark Vanessa Thirty
years ago, Vanessa Springora was the teenage muse of one of
France's most celebrated writers, a footnote in the narrative of an
influential man. At the end of 2019, as women around the world
began to speak out, Springora, now in her forties and the director
of one of France's leading publishing houses, decided to reclaim
her own story. Consent is the story of her stolen adolescence.
Devastating in its honesty, Springora's painstaking memoir lays
bare the cultural attitudes and circumstances that made it possible
for a thirteen-year-old girl to become involved with a
fifty-year-old man. Drawing parallels between children's fairy
tales, French history and the author's personal life, Consent
offers intimate insights into the meaning of love and consent, the
toll of trauma and the power of healing in women's lives.
