“I know Marie-Chantal and right from the start, I’m like, ‘Wow, she’s really, really sincere.’ She is very lucid about her person, her character, her personality. I [quand je me suis séparée]. It’s really beautiful, what she wrote, it resonates in the hearts of many women who have been mothers-in-law. I had the impression, through her book, of living my own mourning for being a mother-in-law. And it’s very, very well written. »
