A Woman's Story | Annie Ernaux

Pickpick

4/5
In this short book (90 pages), Annie Ernaux recounts the life of her mother, a woman with ambition, who like her daughter, changed social status (one of the major theme of Annie Ernaux).
Ernaux's writing is very factual, bare, distanced. Some parts read like photographs, a description of a short moment in life.
Another theme: mother-daughter relationship in this context of socio-economical growth.

Solidarity. I work with high risk patients so can't stay home but we wear red to stand with those who are out today.
