Summary:
This book follows Olivia, also known as Olive, as she meets Éole, a non-binary dancer, and their theater troupe made up of queer activists. It explores how the experiences of the individuals resonate with the teenager. Through her interactions with them, she opens herself up to new horizons, explores who she is, and continues her journey into adulthood as a young woman who discovers she is a lesbian and asserts her convictions, particularly her feminist and queer beliefs.

Comment:
Thierry Magnier publishing house’s “L’Ardeur” collection edits novels that adress sexuality with teenagers. This coming-of-age novel gently and delicately explores the search for gender identity, love and independence.
