I'm reading the paper of Claire Voisin on the Torelli theorem for cubic hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{P}^5$ (in french : http://www.springerlink.com/content/j8675gn214l17523/). Are there lecture notes, or survey articles, or a book on that subject, with full details ? There are a lot of 'clairement' and 'évident'...
In the last section of the paper for example, she proves that the period map, extended to the locus $\Delta$ of cubics with one node (after a degre 2 ramified cover) has maximal rank along $\Delta$. The Clemens-Schmid sequences seems a little different from the one in Peters-Steenbrink and I am not sure about the precise meaning of 'the period map essentially gives this Hodge structure, from what it is obvious that we can reconstruct this other one, etc...'
