Summary:
"Born in Germany,
Marguerite
was just into her twenties when she moved to Tunisia with her French lover. She thought she was choosing a life of adventure and freedom, but what she got was children and a marriage that quickly became abusive. Constrained by the minutiae of everyday life,
Marguerite
longs for the agency to make her own choices. Eventually she flees, leaving her children behind for a year and a half. As the world labels her a wife, a mother, and eventually a bad mother,
Marguerite
wrestles with her own definition of personhood. Can you love your children and want your own life at the same time?"--From publisher.
