Description

Everything mixes, collides, merges. It would take strength and words to support so many emotions, to describe this feeling...

Every frustration weakens us; we cry whenever we feel offended. But, for joy, we only cry once... Memory has a strange way of storing emotions like memories. Our words, our desires, our dreams are still there, arranged symmetrically like Russian dolls.

In this poignant novel, Maxime Li Ham Devis delves deep into the labyrinth of human emotions, exploring themes of love, identity, and societal expectations. Set against the backdrop of a city by the sea, "Like a Torn in My Heart" follows the lives of Stan and Ferris, two young men struggling to navigate their inner turmoil and the oppressive norms of their society. Through a blend of lyrical prose and raw, honest dialogue, Devis crafts a narrative that is both intimate and universal. This is not just a story of love, but a profound meditation on the human condition, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of the "Absolute."
