'You must ask the young if you want to know what love is. Only they are deep enough in it to describe. It is the pulsing heart you want to probe: the pulsing, beating, leaping, dipping, fluttering heart of a seventeen-year-old.' It is the late 1950s and it is Existentialist time in Paris. But Viola, a seventeen-year-old English girl, is languishing in a chaotic finishing school in the dull French countryside. Under the distrait tutelage of Tante Aimee, the pupils lounge about the crumbling grey chateau playing records and smoking Gitanes, awaiting the arrival of some suitably aristocratic young blood - and life. Then a new teacher arrives - Sabine. Sabine, with her long tanned legs, wide straight shoulders and mane of golden hair. Sabine, who arrives each morning in her old Deux Cheveaux, dragging on her Gauloises, truculent, difficult. And passion strikes. But there are dark forces at play in the chateau and a dangerous secret is about to be uncovered...Sensual, Gothic, with more than a hint of Colette, Sabine is a dark tale of schoolgirl love and compulsion.

Do you live relationships with a deep sense of unease? Are you nervous and worried? Can't you express yourself freely with your partner? These are all common symptoms of someone trapped in a toxic relationship. Love is the most addictive feeling of all. Some more, some less, we are all dependent on the attention, gestures, and small things that the person we love gives us. For this reason, in every respectable relationship, relying on the partner and sharing moments of joy and pain with him are the necessary conditions to build a solid relationship Yet it often happens that we have the perception that we always dedicate our time and only to the partner. At the unconscious level, we are convinced that the love we feel for him is directly proportional to how much time and space we dedicate to the partner, while on the other hand, we do not realize that day after day we lose the most important thing we have: our freedom. Have you ever wondered how much time your spend on yourself? Have you ever wondered how much importance you have in your relationship? In the first phase of falling in love, it is a common attitude to immerse oneself 100% in the new relationship. We are overwhelmed by a powerful hurricane of emotions, and our only thought is to devote as much time as possible to the person we love. But all this is not normal and can become very dangerous when this type of attitude continues even after the phase of falling in love.&nbsp; Do you ever feel misunderstood or even diminished when you try to express your thoughts? Have you ever wanted to have your own space outside the couple and had a frightened or angry reaction from your partner? If you see yourself in just one of these examples, you have finally found a book for you. You see, many people think that loving a person always means putting that person first. In reality, true love is born when first of all we love ourselves. Only in this way will we be able to give the best of ourselves in a couple relationship, only in this way will we be able to love and make ourselves loved as we really deserve. The ultimate goal of any relationship is to feel good about ourselves to make the partner happy while respecting his/her individuality. What can we do to get out of a toxic relationship?
