Description :
Women and children first: the cry of a ship's captain shipwrecked.But the women here are modest, everyday warriors who face loneliness, illness and madness, and suffer disillusionment and insults. They strive to be strong enough to save themselves, and above all to save the children, those innocent victims, when the world threatens to sink. Tenderness is such a precious support. A novelist and teacher, Line Alexandre lives in Liège, where she writes and hosts literary events. The author of five novels, this is her second collection of short stories.
