Mireille Beausoleil Casals, 64 and retired, who lived in Vallespir, Boulou and Saint-Jean-Pla-de-Corts, wrote a book, I survived a perverse generator, So that the truth burst. His overwhelming story mixes pain, silence and fear of dying. She gives a raw testimony, both intimate and universal, on heavy and complex themes, such as the wounds of mistreated childhood, maternal incest and sexual abuse. The writing is both sober and impactful. It manages to restore all the complexity of experience, of childhood broken by maternal abuses.
This story is in line with the testimonies that awaken consciences and break taboos. Reconstruction, after trauma highlights the psychological consequences and the importance of speech for healing. Far from locking up in despair, he is an ode to resilience, an invitation to speech, a space where victims of such violence can recognize themselves and free themselves.
