The Book of Mother

Maman is beautiful and magnetic. She does everything to the extreme. She smokes too much, laughs too hard and loves too lavishly. Enjoying her joyful and chaotic childhood, her daughter Violaine wouldn’t change it for a thing. But when Maman is hospitalised after a third divorce and breakdown, things begin to change. Violaine and her sister want their mother back, but when she returns, she is different. Her violent mood swings quickly transform their home into an emotional landmine. As the story of Catherine’s own traumatic childhood begins to unfold, the stories form a portrait of a mother as irresistible as she is impossible.
