site.btaNovelist Sophie Daull: It Takes Talent to Live with Scars that Never Disappear

They say that the French writer Sophie Daull laundered her memories with her novel Au Grand Lavoir. In the book, she tells a story about the killer of her mother, who was sentenced to life in prison but was released thanks to a grand media manipulation. “The book itself is something of a revenge, retribution. This person became a character in a novel, I became the master of his fate and started controlling it. And I manipulate it as one does a puppet. I do with him anything I please. He ruined my life and in the novel I play with his life,” Sophie Daull said in a BTA interview.
