Description
"I would rather die than be afraid to live."
Edith Blais adopted this mantra early in life and has always put it into practice. Was it this mantra that led her to the Sahara Desert, where she spent more than a year held captive by jihadists before escaping with her partner, Luca?
In this book, the young woman looks back on the years leading up to her kidnapping and describes the path that led her to undergo the ordeals she recounted in The Hourglass . Invited into the immensity of her inner world, free and without borders, readers will discover her anxiety disorders, her bohemianism throughout the world, her excesses and her quest for the absolute.
Edith also gives us news of her former captive companions and, in a more intimate perspective, she reflects on the profound repercussions of their shared experiences and how these transformed their lives. This initiatory and life-filled story is carried by a fiery wind
