"Since Ulysses, the heroes of our books have become accustomed to seeking their salvation in the islands. From Robinson to Monte Christo, whether you go free or with your shoes on, it is by digging that you find your truth. Discreet even erased, Eve has nothing of a heroine, if it is not the courage to face reality: she will never have children. To accept to give up all hope, here she arrives. On Mother Island, no green light, no hostile or welcoming savages, but women, brought together by the hazards of tourism. In the manner of the Heptameron, they come in turn to deposit their history, their joys, their torments above all, at the feet of Eve. In the sweetness of fata morgana, this strange phenomenon where earth, sky and sea mingle, the stories then become entangled, trying to share the best kept secret in the world, the one that binds mothers to their children. The author has been able to go beyond the diversity of clinical cases to sing about the sweetness of the exchange and the captivating sensuality of these mothers among themselves. Mother Island is Penelope's Odyssey." --English translation of text on back cover of book
