Au centre, l'héroïne, jeune sarde étrange "aux longs cheveux noirs et aux yeux immenses". Toujours en décalage, toujours à contretemps, toujours à côté de sa propre vie... À l'arrière-plan, les personnages secondaires, peints avec une touche d'une extraordinaire finesse : le mari, épousé par raison pendant la Seconde Guerre, sensuel taciturne ; le Rescapé, à l'empreinte indélébile ; enfin, la petite-fille, narratrice de cette histoire, la seule qui permettra à l'héroïne de se révéler dans sa vérité. Mais sait-on jamais tout de quelqu'un, aussi proche soit-il.

The #MeToo movement has focused public attention on the issue of sexual consent. People of all genders, from all walks of life, have stepped forward to tell their stories of sexual harassment and violation. In a predictable backlash, others have taken to mass media to inquire plaintively if "flirting" is now forbidden. This book presents key strands of feminist thought on the subject of sexual consent from across academic and activist communities and covers the history of research on consent in such fields as psychology and feminist legal studies.
