"Consentimento" é um relato muito duro de alguém que conheceu na pele o abuso e a ausência de proteção dos adultos significativos.
Uma leitura compulsiva e verdadeiramente imersiva.

“Writing meant becoming once more the subject of my own story. A story that had been denied me for too long.”
Springora is a force to be reckoned with, her writing is a spotlight on the French society that has, for too long, aided and abetted powerful men in their pedophilia. Springora rips her story out of her abusers hands and highlights how disgusting and despicable a man he is. Her writing is immersive, so much so you feel queasy; she is a master of her craft for this being her first published work.
“Language has always been an exclusive domain. Who owns language owns power.” - Chloé Delaume, My Beloved Sisters
Some quotes I read from the memoir that speaks to her skill:
“I also had the vague sense that not only had I been used to satisfy his sexual urges during our relationship, but now I was being used to cast a favorable light on him, enabling him, through no efforts of my own, to continue to broadcast his literary propaganda.”
“His entire intellect revolves around satisfying his desires and then transposing them into one of his books.”
“Our affair was a dream so powerful that nothing, not a single one of the few warnings I received from those around me, was enough to waken me. It was the most perverse nightmare. A violence that has no name.”
“This was precisely what he was doing when he took possession of my youth for his sexual and literary ends.”

This is a book you can’t review, you simply feel appalled by the collective blind eye that was turned at the abuse V. endured.
