“Mom died this morning and for the first time in my life she hurt me...” For more than two years, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt tried to understand and accept the unthinkable: the sudden death of the woman who gave birth to him.... These pages tell of his “debt of happiness”: a long and bitter struggle with sadness. To remain inconsolable would be a betrayal of his mother: this gentle, radiant woman endowed him with a zest for life, a passion for art, a sense of humor and, perhaps most importantly, a worship of joy. Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is a world celebrity, winner of the Goncourt Prize and many other awards. His novel Oscar and the Pink Lady was named by readers as the book that changed their lives, along with the Bible, The Little Prince and The Three Musketeers. His books have been translated into fifty languages and are published in France every year with a total circulation of half a million copies. In “The Diary of Lost Love,” Schmitt, overcoming and conquering pain, reflects on what happens to us when we lose a loved one and cease to be the children of our parents.
