A Woman's Story

A quiet, devastating memoir by Nobel Prize-winning author Annie Ernaux. After her mother's death from Alzheimer's, Ernaux writes her way back through her mother's life — a woman born in a small Normandy town who fought her way out of poverty to give her daughter something better. Spare, unsentimental, and deeply moving, this is Ernaux at her most intimate: an unflinching meditation on class, memory, and the complicated bond between mothers and daughters.
