About this listen

 Immerse yourself in the complex emotions and experiences of the young Jean-Jacques, as he enters adulthood under the guidance of his maman, his primary source of comfort. I loved her too much to desire her, he confesses, hinting at the depths of their bond that surpasses typical relationships. However, his happiness is tainted by an undefined sadness, a sense of guilt as if he has committed incest. Despite their closeness, she doesnt share his remorse, for she never sought pleasure. Join us as we navigate the tangled web of his emotions in these volumes.
