We are in the States, and in 1970! The war in Vietnam is raging, young people free themselves from the shackles and advocate free love, girls take the pill... She who never worked or even imagined having to becomes a waitress in a fringe restaurant, in contact with a new friend she discovers young people refractory to war, a black cook on the run, a sect with mystical pretensions, a universe a hundred thousand miles from what she knew in Brussels in her right-thinking milieu. An unexpected event will launch her into a new life. Anne Duvivier is a psychotherapist. In this fifth novel,the third published by M.E.O., she enchants us again with her way of saying serious things with lightness, her mixture of humor and socio-psychological observation. In our period of neo-feminism often ignorant of its roots, she reminds us of the first steps in the women's liberation.
