Artist Aude Mermillod meets novelist Martin Winckler: two voices to break the silence on a still-taboo subject--abortion.

Although sometimes a choice, abortion remains no less a traumatic event in a woman's life. And one all the more painful that they keep it to themselves, unsure how to express the ambivalence of the feelings and representations it inspires. Anxiety, guilt, loneliness, physical suffering, and most importantly, the impossibility of share one's experience. With this book, Aude Mermillod breaks the silence, mixing her testimony as a patient with that of physician Martin Winckler. Their two paths intersect and converse in a book that is powerful, vital, and peaceful.
