4th Ernaux and I just couldn‘t connect with this one. I couldn‘t figure out what I was reading until about 50%. Only reason why I didn‘t bail on this one was because it was a short read.

Time to read some Ernaux… Been trying to read one of her books every couple of months.
Also, just realized that it will be the first time I read an English translation of her books…Always picked up the Spanish translation before.
10 min update: Searched my Kindle and I do have it in Spanish❤️😅🙌🏽
Another extraordinary autobiographical piece by Annie Ernaux. Looking back at her years as a teenager, Ernaux examines the memories she has of her first shared night with a man, her sexual awakening and how she perceived and received her own desires. Through her particular use of fragmented writing, she connects the past with how it affected her relationship with herself and her body in the future.
