🌲 At 18, Eva has never left the isolated house she lives in with her father, deep in a Corsican forest. Suffering from a severe immune deficiency, the slightest contact with the outside world could be fatal. But one day, her father doesn't come home from work. Eva must then leave her refuge and face the world for the first time.

📚 With "Eva of the Forests," Julien Sandrel delivers a new suspense novel that he describes as a "luminous thriller." Three heroines, Eva, Alice, and Suzanne, find their destinies intersecting. Each embodies a form of confinement and a path to freedom.

🎙️ A guest on the 8/9 program on La Une, the author explains how the testimonies he gathered in Brussels from people involved in the fight against violence against women inspired his novel. He discusses the pressures that still weigh on women and these sometimes invisible prisons he wanted to explore.

✍️ How does he construct his plot twists? What role does he leave for instinct? Julien Sandrel reveals the behind-the-scenes aspects of his writing process and unveils that producers are already interested in adapting the novel for the screen.
