L’hôpital était en travaux, défiguré par les baraques de chantiers, les sacs de ciment, les gravats, mais le jardin était entretenu avec application. Il exhibait un panachage de fleurs printanières entourant une fontaine. Quelques patients croisèrent, tête baissée, notre procession sans gloire, connaissant probablement, pour en être chaque jour les témoins, le motif peu bucolique de notre promenade. (…)Je ressentis les premières contractions. La sensation était étrange, comme si les molécules de mifégyne, autrement nommées RU 486, me palpaient l’intérieur du ventre. J’allais accoucher de rien, mais j’allais accoucher quand même. Marie commence une carrière prometteuse à la télévision lorsqu’elle tombe enceinte. L’avortement paraît une solution simple et mineure dans un pays où il est pratiqué par plus de 220 000 femmes chaque année. Mais en expulsant son fœtus, c’est de toute son existence que Marie s’extrait. De sa sœur qu’elle croyait connaître, de son emploi où on la juge, du père de l’enfant, un de ses amants de passage, et finalement d’elle-même et de ses rêves d’enfant ; si l’avortement est légal il n’en est pas moins souvent vécu dans la culpabilité et la honte. Une minuscule boule de sang expulsée dans une cour d’hôpital peut faire basculer une vie. Dans une société où les lois tolérantes ne changent pas toujours les mentalités, où les positions morales ne permettent pas toujours de comprendre les comportements et les choix, on peut se demander, comme le fait un des personnages du livre, si ce système n’est pas devenu totalement “ contre-nature”. Ce court roman lumineux et incisif, loin d’être un témoignage intempestif pour ou contre l’IVG, est une métaphore violente sur le divorce de l’intime et du social. Pulsion de vie et pulsion de mort s’y affrontent en une dialectique déchirée, où les coupables ne sont pas les hommes, mais un système qui favorise l’incommunicabilité générale. Poignante, cette tragédie en trois actes plonge au cœur de l’actualité : en janvier 2005, la loi Veil aura, comme l’héroïne du livre, trente ans… Pour la première fois, une femme et un homme collaborent pour évoquer dans un roman avec une dimension psychologique, sociale et économique, le tabou de l’avortement.Shipping Notes

Yes. definitely yes.
Format: Kindle
Rounding up from 4.5. This was a great read and has earned the title of my second favorite sapphic fantasy behind Aurora’s Angel. (Granted, there isn’t a huge amount of competition.)
The two main characters are well written and there is plenty of swoon to keep you happy. It’s a slow burn (which I love) and it was done very well. The author keeps you riding on the excitement of what is to be.
The longing looks, the subtle touches, the loaded dialogue. It was all great. Each interaction brought the two MCs closer together in such a sweet way.
The plot was a good one and keeps you entertained without being overdone or making you too anxious.
The book is well written and uses some period language (which I appreciate) without being too pretentious. It is well paced and flows very well from one scene to the next. No boring parts to suffer through.
The reason for the missing half star:
There were parts that I felt could have used more finesse, or maybe more explanation concerning Della’s insistence on seducing Galeon. The passion was there but it seemed like Della was being reckless at times. But maybe that was the point.
I also wished that some of the supporting characters were a little more fleshed out. I wanted to know more about them.
It doesn’t get nearly as deep into any aspect the way Auroras Angel did, but I don’t consider that a bad thing per se. It’s just a shorter and lighter read without as much depth. But still enjoyable
Overall, this was a great book and I look forward to the future installments.
Definitely recommend.

Will definitely be reading the second independent book in this series!
Format: Kindle
A slow burn fantasy novel that showcases the finer instances of romantic gestures and quick stolen glances in between the big showy, epic events. Once I picked up the book I could not put it down until I completed it fully. It was easy to get attached to the characters and I was happy that they didn't try to fit a hetero normative and instead felt to be a truly sapphic/queer relationship. The ending had me at the edge of my seat!
While very immersive and easy to get sucked into the world built, I think what would take this to the next level would be more detailed world building. I found I yearned most for this book to get into the nitty gritty of describing and bringing to life the horrific transformations of the witches. I also felt some of the dialogue was a bit too modern which took me out of the older fantasy setting this story was set in for a second. Overall a great book that was easy to allow yourself to get immersed in and tugged around emotionally along with the characters. Loved it!!

UGH SO GOOD!!!
Format: Paperback
Such a good book! The way the story is written and how the characters are portrayed leaves you wanting more! A tad bit of a slow burn but so so good and worth the wait! Personally I bought both the book and audio book because I couldn't put it down! This book had me (A man) kicking my feet like a little girl and holding back tears throughout the story. I just love love and this story is just so beautifully written!
