Publisher's presentation: Laure is 19 years old and anorexic. Hospitalized at the last stage of the disease, she understands little by little why she got there. Days Without Hunger tells the story of three months in hospital, three months to bring this empty body back to life, three months to surrender, to heal. Laure's recovery is also the story of her encounter with the doctor who takes care of her, perhaps the only one who is able to hear her suffering, this part of her childhood that she cannot give up. Lou Delvig (Delphine de Vigan's pseudonym) wrote this novel to exorcise this story by transforming it, by reinventing it. She has found a voice, an outside voice, clinical, sometimes light. The novel is written in the third person, allowing the physical suffering and distress that accompany anorexia to be told. |
