Résumé

In a unique and candid memoir, Alix Garin (author of "Forget Me Not") gives an uncompromising account of her struggle to reconquer her body and libido after three years of suffering from vaginismus: a medical condition that makes penetration during sex impossible. Her journey forces her to face societal taboos, gendered expectations, and her own past... and overcome the guilt and loneliness of living in a world where not having sex is unimaginable. Along the way, she explores her relationship to desire, love, and the world at large in a quest for self-discovery that goes well beyond the body and leaves her determined to keep fighting. This story of healing is about much more than the author herself.
