The Straw Man [French]

By LINE BENETT

Sonia thought she had found the exception. In the turmoil of her life, a virtual encounter turns everything upside down. The words are sweet, the promises beautiful, the future finally seems bright. But behind the screen, the face of love is nothing but a mask of clay. Caught in the web of a "straw man," a cold and methodical manipulator, Sonia sees her world crumble. Lies, control, stolen identities... When the mirror shatters, only shards and a deafening silence remain. It is then that a voice from elsewhere, that of the real "Julian West," resonates like a beacon in the darkness. Through his struggles and his raw truth, he becomes the unwitting guide to an unexpected reconstruction. Between Seattle and the daily life of a woman confronted with human suffering, Line Benett delivers a moving story about the strength of the "little soldier" that lies dormant within each of us. An intimate odyssey where writing becomes the ultimate weapon, transforming pain into mist and debris into glimmers of light. "Each word you put down is a piece of that 'weight' that leaves your heart to settle on the page."
