Publisher's Summary

Annie Ernaux s'efforce ici de retrouver les différents visages et la vie de sa mère, morte le 7 avril 1986, au terme d'une maladie qui avait détruit sa mémoire et son intégrité intellectuelle et physique. Elle, si active, si ouverte au monde. Quête de l'existence d'une femme, ouvrière, puis commerçante anxieuse de "tenir son rang" et d'apprendre. Mise au jour, aussi, de l'évolution et de l'ambivalence des sentiments d'une fille pour sa mère : amour, haine, tendresse, culpabilité, et, pour finir, attachement viscéral à la vieille femme diminuée. "Je n'entendrai plus sa voix... J'ai perdu le dernier lien avec le monde dont je suis issue."

A well written story

The story feels real. Not too exaggerated nor too boring. The story makes you live, reincarnate the stages of the mom’s author. Each paragraph was beautifully written. They describe everything in this « raw » way, in the simple way on how human perceives the world and the causes of their feelings. I had to read it for college and I pretty much appreciate it!
