So beautifully written and translated
A page from Simone De Beauvoir’s A Very Easy Death. Excerpt reads: "Thinking against oneself often bears fruit; but with my mother it was another question again - she lives against herself. She had appetites in plenty: she spent all her strength in repressing them and she underwent this denial in anger. In her childhood her body, her heart and her mind had been squeezed into an armour of principles and prohibitions. She had been taught to pull the laces hard and tight herself. A full-blooded, spirited woman lived on inside her, but a stranger to herself, deformed and mutilated."
