Love Me Tender

Publisher Flammarion
"I don't see why the love between a mother and son wouldn't be exactly like any other kind of love."

"I don't see why the love between a mother and son wouldn't be exactly like any other kind of love. Why we can't stop loving someone. Why we can't say goodbye."
Constance Debré continues the quest she began in Play Boy: a quest for meaning, a good and just life. After the question of identity comes those of alterity, and love in all its forms, from motherly love to romantic variations. Must we accept everything that befalls us in order to be free? Must we embrace it all, even our defeats? Can grief and sorrow be overcome?
