Det Onda
Hon stirrar rakt framför sig på väggen som hon brukar se på när hon och Laurent älskar och i nattens mörker får hon för sig att det onda som drabbat henne är ödets hämnd på ett liv som bedömts för lätt att leva. Marie är lyckligt gift, trettiotvå år gammal, och älskar sin man Laurent och deras liv i Paris. Hon trivs med sitt arbete och drömmer om att bli mamma. Framtiden ser ljus ut. Tills den dag hennes chef ger henne skjuts hem från jobbet och våldtar henne i sin bil. Instinktivt vet Marie att hon aldrig kommer att berätta för någon om vad som hänt. Men undan för undan förvandlas hennes relation till sin egen kropp och när hon upptäcker att hon är gravid hotar tystnaden och ensamheten hennes själva existens. Det onda är en lika rå som hjärtskärande roman om en våldtäkt vars konsekvenser leder till det otänkbara.
