FJALËT PËR TA THËNË ( The words to say it) – Author: Marie Cardinal

The novel begins in a quiet, dirty, cul-de-sac in a Paris suburb. Thirty-year-old Marie Cardinal finds herself here, looking to be born again. She has heard of a famous psychoanalyst who lives in this neighborhood and is desperately seeking his help—she has been struggling with mental illness and severe menstrual problems that, for years, no doctor has been able to diagnose. Having recently escaped from a sanatorium, she knows that this doctor is her last hope to find sanity and health. Marie has contemplated suicide, due in large part to her ailments, but she has three children—for the sake of her family, she journeys to the suburbs, to the doctor, to find a new life.
