Love Me Tender
When Constance told her ex-husband that she was dating women, he made a string of unfounded accusations that separated her from her young son, Paul.
Laurent trained Paul to say he no longer wants to see his mother, and the judge believed him. She approaches this new life with passionate intensity and the desire for an unencumbered existence, certain that no love can last.
Apart from cigarettes, two regular lovers and women she has brief affairs with, Constance’s approach is monastic and military – she swims daily, reads, writes, and returns to small or borrowed rooms for the night. A starkly beautiful account of impossible sacrifices asked from mothers, Love Me Tender is a bold novel of defiance, freedom and self-knowledge.
