Vanda by Marion Brunet | Le Livre de poche

No one really knows Vanda, this slightly lost girl who lives alone with her son Noé in a shed by the water, on the outskirts of the city. About ten years earlier, she dreamed of being an artist, but she became a cleaning lady in a psychiatric hospital. Between Vanda and her six-year-old son, whom she protects like a wolf, there is a mad love that excludes any compromise. So when Simon, the child's father, suddenly bursts into their lives after seven years of absence, the unstable universe that Vanda has built for herself falters. And the rage she holds back threatens to explode.
