Je sentis avant de penser: c`est le sort commun de l`humanité. Je l`éprouvai plus qu`un autre. J`ignore ce que je fis jusqu`à cinq ou six ans; je ne sais comment j`appris à lire; je ne me souviens que de mes premières lectures et de leur effet sur moi: c`est le temps d`où je date sans interruption la conscience de moi-même. Ma mère avait laissé des romans. Nous nous mîmes à les lire après souper, mon père et moi. Il n`était question d`abord que de m`exercer à la lecture par des livres amusants; mais bientôt l`intérêt devint si vif, que nous lisions tour à tour sans relâche, et passions les nuits à cette occupation. Nous ne pouvions...

He emigrated to Paris, Kim turns to his childhood friend, Arkady. Before being separated at the age of fourteen, the two boys grew up together in a village community, not far from Leningrad. Kim and Arkady living happy years. Both pioneers in a youth movement, they walk proudly toward the radiant horizon promise them propaganda films, the rhythm of songs that celebrate the heroes of the war and the mythical figure of the worker. But some parents are heavy silences of innuendo. Gradually emerges in them the feeling they were duped. And for the adult in the eyes for a long time opened, the nostalgia is twofold: that of scenes from the childhood memory of a light snow bath, is added the more unexpected at the time of lies and of blindness.

In "Confessions of a Bad Mother", Stephanie described how she brought up her children ‘wrong’. Now she unlocks her singular inability (but one which secretly we all share) to grow up: forty-five last birthday but she doesn`t feel any older, but of course she does – as in deafer, stiffer, and less able to read the dosage instructions on a bottle of Calpol. But the supposedly normal challenges of human existence feel frequently as though they are beyond her. Life is constantly confusing, frustrating and, at times, overwhelming. At forty-five – but only on paper - she`s still a child in a suit, bluffing her way with one eye looking over her shoulder, expecting any minute to be found out and taken back to the nursery. Of course, that...
