"My mother struggled with poverty and male violence her whole life." Édouard Louis tells a vivid story about his mother Monique Bellegueule, who grew up in precarious circumstances without any vocational training and was trapped in marriages with violent and alcoholic men. He talks about his wish to have had a different mother as a child and the great happiness of seeing her today as a liberated, happy woman.
