Mon Secret by Niki de Saint Phalle

At the age of 64, the artist began this text, written in the form of a letter to her daughter Laura. In it, she recounts the unspeakable in simple, poignant words.


The story behind

Victim of incest, Niki de Saint Phalle reveals a terrible secret hidden for decades.

"I wrote this book first and foremost for myself, in an attempt to finally free myself from the tragedy that played such a decisive role in my life. As a survivor of death, I needed to let the little girl in me speak at last. My text is the little girl's desperate cry."  - Niki de Saint Phalle
