Description
Gratitude by Delphine de Vigan is a tender and poignant novel about love, loss, and redemption. When Michka's daughter Marie moves her to a home for the elderly, she expects to find safety and care. Instead, Michka is haunted by dark secrets and struggling to hold onto her words as she loses them day by day. A speech therapist, Jérôme, is tasked with helping the home's ageing population regain their lost speech, but Michka is no ordinary client. As her words slip away, time is running out for her to confront the guilt she has carried since childhood. Delicately wrought and darkly gripping, this novel explores the redemptive power of showing thanks and what we owe one another. This powerful story celebrates communication, connection, and courage in the face of adversity, making it a compelling read for fans of psychological fiction and women's literature.
