A young woman’s descent into hell as she is caught in the vice of a marriage whose appearance is deceiving. Scorned love, lies, pressure… A behind-closed-doors family affair where manipulation reigns supreme...

Aged 25, Anna falls madly in love with Jésus, a brilliant academic recently wheelchair-bound following an accident. For both of them it’s love at first sight, and they get married only a few months later… The young woman is committed, despite the reservations of her family and friends. She believes that anything is possible, including making the most of her love despite her daily struggles.

Fifteen years later, Jésus has become a tyrant and authoritarian, particularly with Sam, their young 8-year-old son. Anna also suffers from the presence of her invasive mother-in-law, who further disrupts the balance of their relationship.

Her encounter with Gabrielle, a seductive bookseller, gives her the strength she needs to leave Jésus and take Sam with her. But Jésus is not going to make things easy for her. Quite the contrary.

Originally from the Auvergne region, Martine Thorre-Gachet now lives in Lacanau in the south-west of France. She has always loved writing and it was her father, a printer, who made her first novel when she was 12 years old. An ex-court clerk, she now dedicates all of her time to writing. Winner of the 2018 MonBestSeller.com Jury Prize, Contrariété d'un gaucher is her first novel. She has previously self-published three novels.
