Blackstage
by Esther Hervy“The author introduces us to this universe using simple words, and many English words and references, thus strengthening the realism of this story. The words are precise, details are exact, making us want to test these sins without involving ourselves in this destructive world. We are plunged into this mad story up until the very last word. A time-independent realism that rattles our emotions. This fictional story has several levels, based on an extraordinary love story. Esther Hervy focuses on how attractive a star-filled dream world is for many young people, what can and does go wrong when using drugs, as well as the importance freedom has in our lives. Like Jean de la Fontaine, Esther Hervy puts morals in her story around this extroverted world, making her readers think twice. This novel is dictated by two hearts. We question events in our lives and our choices can also be called into question. A reflection on love and its limitations. We are totally onboard in this rock filled story. So, just one word of advice for those who haven’t yet read this story: try to follow the white line.” Célia Chabaudie for DouzeFranceTV “The author’s style is fluid, beautiful, strong and totally addictive! This is a very intense romance and its characters are likeable. An atypical construction in this story, coming and going between past and present where we navigate between an idyllic meeting and a downward spiral, descending directly into hell. This book really Rocks!” Les lectures de la Diablotine
