«La vie sauve» is the personal account written by Lydie Violet and Marie Desplechin, published by Points in paperback (153 pages, in French).
In August 2001, Lydie Violet is diagnosed with a brain tumor and her life changes completely. Faced with the idea of her own disappearance, the book explores the strength of moments, courage, fragility, friendship and the capacity to laugh. Violet and Desplechin wrote it together after months of conversations and without the certainty of being able to finish it.
The book won the Prix Médicis essai in 2005. This edition, expanded with readers' letters, was published in 2006.
For readers of personal accounts and nonfiction interested in the experience of illness and in friendship as support.
