Back Cover: Sixtine, a very pious young woman, meets Pierre-Louis, in whom she sees an ideal husband, sharing the same values as her. Very quickly, they get married in the traditional Catholic rite and move to Nantes. But their wedding night turned out to be an ordeal, and the upcoming arrival of an heir, which should be a blessing, looks to her like an arduous journey. Until a tragic event pushes her to open her eyes and to glimpse another truth.
Blessed be Sixtine is above all the story of an awakening and an emancipation. Between a psychological thriller and a story of initiation, this first novel describes the hold exerted by a family of extremists on a vulnerable young woman and the toxicity of an environment filled with backward beliefs. A magnificent plea for tolerance and freedom, which forcefully denounces the misuse of religion by fundamentalists.
