Constance Debré: Defiance and Freedom

Judgements over what a mother is and isn’t allowed to do never seem to end. When Constance Debré is separated from her young child after telling her ex-husband that she is dating women, she fears a monastic and loveless existence. Instead, she lives for herself. Stark, beautiful and humane, Love Me Tender is a bold account of the impossible sacrifices asked of mothers, and shows us that there are many ways to live well. In conversation with Kirsty Logan.
