Vanessa Springora - Consentimento

The book-testimony that ignited French society. A story of love and perversion, of victims and predators. Paris, mid-1980s: young V. seeks in the pages of books something to fill the emotional void left by her parents' divorce. At thirteen, at a dinner party, she meets G., a writer, a figure of the Parisian intellectual elite, with the countenance of a Buddhist monk and "eyes of a supernatural blue." Unaware of the sulphurous reputation the fifty-year-old writer enjoys, she is captivated from the first glance by his magnetism, by the looks he gives her. After a meticulous courtship of several weeks, V. surrenders herself to G. body and soul.
