Le chant de Dolorès

This is the story of Dolores Price, a sharp-tongued and wounded girl whose childhood is abruptly cut short. When her family falls apart, she finds comfort in television and the food her anxious mother provides, building a protective wall around herself. Stranded in her suburban home, she watches the world through a screen as she grows into a 257-pound young woman, ill-equipped for a life that has shown her little kindness and a future that promises more of the same.

What follows is an unflinching chronicle of a life marked by trauma, a journey through pain, loss, and the arduous process of healing. The novel charts Dolores's path from a deeply fractured adolescence into an adulthood defined by a search for self-acceptance and peace. It is an exploration of the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity for an individual to confront a painful past and forge a new beginning. The story of Dolores Price is an honest and raw account of one woman's fight to put herself back together.
