About This Book

Le récit suit Clara Mortsel, née d'une servante et d'un briquetier, dont l'enfance oscillant entre rives boueuses et fours à briques forge une sensibilité sensorielle marquée par les couleurs sombres, les odeurs âcres et les bruits industriels. Son éveil charnel et social se noue aux paysages de labeur, tandis que les ambitions familiales et les changements d'environnement l'entraînent vers la ville et des rencontres qui modifient sa condition. L'ensemble explore les tensions entre milieu rural et modernisation industrielle, la fascination pour la matière et les corps, et l'impact de l'environnement sur la destinée individuelle.
