This is the story of Lucie, 25, teacher and obese

Lucie is 25 years old and her weight places her, according to the doctors, in the category of moderately obese. She is considering bariatric surgery.

This is the starting point of The Woman Who Sees Through the Looking-Glass, co-signed by Daphnée Leportois, journalist, and Catherine Grangeard, psychoanalyst, which is being released by Eyrolles on June 7, 2018. A novel that looks like a societal chronicle and personal diary.
