In January 1997, arriving at Baldini & Castoldi, by a lawyer, a hundred typewritten pages in French signed Danielle Girard, 47, Paris. Maria Venturi, which prompted a famous opinion, he is excited, and I decided to ensure its translation and write a preface. So does this book, which is the diary of a woman admitted to a private clinic after the third suicide attempt. Autocondannatasi to an inviolable silence, trapped in a world with no reactions, needs and future, is convinced by a young psychiatrist who has treated and will not accept losing, groped at least to write down some thoughts: I am the mother Sophie ... Sophie was born in Paris ... Sophie has a little girl ... Sophie got divorced a year ago ... So just because the young doctor will have the first lightning intuition: Danielle identifies himself completely in the role of mother and daughter Sophie is a figure invasive of its reality. With great effort, but in a less bumpy and more emotionally involving, for the psychiatrist and for readers, she manages to find the words to explain and understand the roots of his malaise, his "evil of life", his death wish. The isolated and difficult childhood (painful admission made for the first time on white sheets of the clinic), a hasty marriage and pregnancy and suffered no conscious choice, and then violated the innocence of her daughter by her father when she was only three years , adolescence destroyed by the certainty that his mother had always known and kept silent, this "truth" thrown in the face with a hatred so unbearable that lead to self-defense, the hatred of Danielle for ragazza.Madre and bones is the true story of a mother and a daughter, a story so painful, but illuminating, without analyzing the ethical and cultural taboos.
