(1), the latest novel by Tatiana de Rosnay published on September 15, Candice, a sound engineer, rescues Dominique, a fifty-something victim of a car accident.
The young woman ignores her, but by saving her, she puts her finger in a terrible gear.
Gradually, Dominique weaves her web around her.
Hosted for a time with the young woman, she invests the personal and professional sphere of Candice.
Dominique turns out to be omnipresent, intrusive.
Candice gasps.
This is what is commonly referred to as a toxic friendship.
A (too) powerful link, which does more harm than good, even gnawing, sometimes.
“In friendship, you have to stay at a good distance from each other, comments the philosopher Michel Erman.
Toxicity begins where that balance of respect and hindsight no longer exists.”
Many people would have experienced these suffocating bonds.
