«La soupe aux cailloux» is the autobiographical account by Martine Provis, published by France Loisirs in hardback (251 pages, in French).
Marthe, lovingly raised by the woman who cares for her as a daughter, is snatched from that home by her biological parents. Alongside her siblings Alberte and Pierre, she tries to survive and shield herself from that couple's cruelty. Her tenacity and daring allow her to escape her tormentors: a lesson in courage.
The France Loisirs edition dates from 1989, and the Library of Congress classifies it under child abuse in France.
It will appeal to those seeking real testimonies of survival and resilience in the face of child abuse.
