After going through a very difficult year following her divorce from Marc Lavoine, novelist Line Papin is back on the front of the stage, with a smile on her face. The writing helped her a lot to overcome the grief of her lost love with the singer. After their divorce, the writer wrote down all the emotions that went through her. All these poems can now be read in a collection entitled Après l'amour, a deeply intimate but above all universal work on the theme of the breakup.

"I was there but everything was for him"

Invited to the microphone of Philippe Vandel in Culture Médias this Monday, May 1, 2023 on Europe 1, Line Papin agreed to return to some quotes from his book including this one: "I lost all the material by leaving my life as a wife. I have lost the gifts of the wife, those that a husband makes to his wife, the comfort of the family home, large apartment with marital room, I have lost family holidays, the social status of 'the wife of a powerful man', I no longer have the bows of others, bows addressed to him through me. That's exactly it. I was there but everything was for him and for him through me." This passage, very strong, speaks to many women, emphasized Line Papin. "Do you have the impression, even today, of being 'the wife of?'" asked Philippe Vandel.
