Dans sa tête, elle revoit la femme couchée sur le dos, robe de chambre remontée jusqu’à la taille, cuisses ouvertes sur un océan de sang… et toujours cet ange de plâtre en guise de signature. Elle sait qu’ici l’avortement soulève les passions. Or, ce qui la turlupine, c’est l’illogisme du tueur: pourquoi avorte-t-il des femmes qui avaient déjà choisi d’opter pour cette procédure ?Small Pleasures: Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction
