Eszter T. Molnár will present her book 'Teréz, ou la mémoire du corps' at the Brussels Book Fair.
Through the prism of memory and language, Eszter T. Molnár's novel weaves links between East and West through three narratives and three languages (French, German and English), on the theme of the suffering and healing body: that of Teréz, who after a sexual abuse suffered during childhood, will try to reinvent herself and face the repressions of her past abroad. A profoundly European voice to share the fundamental and irreversible experience of uprooting.
