I was free to play in the river with the frogs, to play with the pigs, to laugh, to joke, to roam around in the woods. It was fantastic. Even today, I love to throw my arms around trees to embrace them. It gives me energy and makes me feel close to nature." Of both Corsican and Italian descent, Laetitia's father, Dominique Casta. grew up on the rugged isle of Corsica. When he was about eight years old, the Casta family moved from Corsica to Normandy. There Dominique met and mar- ried Line, a beautiful, unassuming woman who gave up a career in accounting to devote herself to raising their family. Their first child, a son named Jean- Baptiste, now attends the London School of Economics. Laetitia was born two years after her brother, on May 11. 1978, and twelve years later, her little sister, Marie-Ange. A creative child, Laetitia loved to draw and to write stories in school. "I was a dreamer, absentminded, and distracted. My teachers told me I was not as talent- ed as my brother. I was already insecure and stubborn as a mule, so when I heard this I withdrew even further into my private world, my bubble." She managed to emerge from her bubble around the age of twelve with the help of the Corsican determination she has learned to trust. "I just wasn't ready to grow up before then," she admits. "It was when Marie-Ange was born that I woke up. I forced myself to grow up for her because I felt she was my responsi- bility. The idea that I could be a role model for her was a great revelation for me." Another revelation was her body: "At twelve my breasts began to grow, and I had to wear a bra. But my friends did not wear them yet, and the kids at school teased me. They would sit behind me in class and pull my bra straps and laugh. I felt awkward, like a grasshopper or a giraffe, and self-conscious. I was embarrassed about my body, which was growing so rapidly. When guests came to our house, I hid under the table. Inside, I was more childlike than my body, and a glance from others intimidated me. Boys never approached me. I was always alone, watching them from a distance, but I was too afraid to say anything. I did not consider myself interesting to them." She did not discover how wrong she was until she was about fifteen. ISBN 9783283003722 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 198. …
