JOURNAL D'UNE FILLE-CHIEN

by LAURA JAFFÉ

Description

NOVEL

One of the darkest times of humanity is repeating itself in this dystopic novel inspired by many real facts borrowed from the Nazi period. The destiny of a young girl is crippled by the rise of a new eugenic government.

In the near future, in 2038, the totalitarian government is practicing genetic segregation of people with disabilities. Josépha, a teenage girl suffering from hypertrichosis (hair all over her body) writes in her diary about the rise of this new genetic fascism. Excluded from school because of her disability, she is then interned in a centre that looks more like a concentration camp than a place of care. She will try everything in her power to change the course of the terrible destiny that awaits her and her new companions of misfortune.
