This is a memoir about trauma, healing, and courage.

The author Vanessa Springerla uses calm, precise and candid words to describe how she was seduced and controlled by a French writer 30 years older than her when she was 14, and developed a deformed relationship with him. After the relationship broke down, this experience was still repeatedly written by G as literary material, and his reputation in the literary world became more and more prosperous. However, Vanessa seemed to be imprisoned in the text, losing the ability to interpret her own life, and forever staying at the age of 14.

"When G chose those lonely, sensitive girls who lacked family care, he knew clearly that they could not threaten his reputation. Because silence means consent."

Sometimes, all it takes is one voice to break the conspiracy of silence.

When lies are hurt and written into romance, who will repay the youth that has been plundered?

"Love knows no age, but that's not the problem."

"Literature considers itself above all social moral judgments, but as publishers, we have an obligation to let readers know that sexual relations between adults and minors who have not reached the age of sexual consent should be condemned and will be punished by law." - Vanessa Springer

A triumphant book that has driven social change in France, marking a shift in French society’s attitude towards pedophilia

It has caused a huge public outcry in Western society, and heavyweight media such as The New York Times, The Guardian, Le Monde, and The Financial Times have all written articles recommending it.

Consent was thrown like a firebomb in the face of France, a dazzling and highly restrained work of anger...After its publication, prosecutors launched an investigation into G. His cooperation with three publishers was terminated, and his lifetime allowance was cancelled...The government announced that the age of sexual consent would be set at 15. In any dimension, her book is a victory. - The New York Times

A healing book that inspires countless wounded hearts and resonates deeply with thousands of readers

I want to thank the author on behalf of all of us: the young girls who have been raped, the "sluts", those who dare not speak up, those who are blocked from speaking up, those who are overwhelmed, those who survived, those who did not survive, those who are stigmatized, those who have been destroyed by narcissistic perverts, and those who think "everything is their fault". Once again, I thank her from the bottom of my heart. -Amazon reader
