Removing Phlegm From An Infant

Jezabel - Irène Némirovsky

Incipit: A woman entered the cage of the accused. Despite the pallor, despite looking tired and distraught, she was still beautiful, with only her eyes, exquisite form, were marred by tears and her mouth had a bitter twist, but she looked young.
incipit It may seem like any other, any way to begin the telling of a story, but it is not.
Jezabel is a book to read and then read again in order to understand the true meaning of the words in the crescendo of history have been specially chosen by the author.
The story begins with the murder trial against Eyesenach Gladys, who was convicted of murdering a boy of twenty with a blow from her own gun.
The woman immediately professes guilty and provides its own version of events, trying to avoid further questioning during the trial, but why? Why not try somehow to defend themselves? Reading this book will discover, step by step, but with increasing curiosity, the secrets of Gladys.
A sad story in which a beautiful woman who has always lived to feel loved and flattered, fighting desperately against old age, a monster that is in hot pursuit, but to which she tries in every way to escape coming to perform acts humanly considered crazy.
A selfish woman, perhaps because of fear, terror.
In some passages the thoughts of Gladys deeply sadden the reader who gets in his shoes and looking for compatible, although, in reality, wants to shake her, make her wake up, make them appreciate what he has, that she could continue to have, but that instead of constantly breaking down. Finally
beautiful cover art, reflected in a single photo the essence of the beauty of the protagonist.
I learned that the author (who died at Auschwitz 39 years) it seems that, in writing Jezabel, has drawn a lot from conduct of his own mother.
