A noir novel in the vein of Helen Zahavi’s Dirty Weekend... only less bloody.

Les orageuses tells the story of an impossible reparation: that of a gang of ordinary girls who one day decide to regain control of their lives, together, and go in search of their own justice after being raped. After Bâtir aussi and On n’a que deux vies, Les orageuses is a new creation produced in the feminist and queer margins of contemporary French society.
A deeply topical text in the context of the visibility of sexual violence, both sensitive and radical, which depicts characters of women struggling with their ghosts and their lives, but collectively making amends.

Strong points

After Bâtir aussi and On n’a que deux vies, a new book in the Sorcières collection between fiction, narrative and text of political reflection, produced in the feminist and queer margins of contemporary French society.

A perfectly embodied punch writing that offers a reflection on revenge, the reparation that one grants oneself and others.
