Une femme - Annie Ernaux
1 in stock - Almost gone!
Annie Ernaux strives here to rediscover the different faces and life of her mother, who died on April 7, 1986, after an illness that destroyed her memory and her intellectual and physical integrity. She, who was so active, so open to the world. A quest for the existence of a woman, a worker, then a shopkeeper anxious to “keep her place” and learn. It also reveals the evolution and ambivalence of a daughter's feelings for her mother: love, hate, tenderness, guilt, and, ultimately, a visceral attachment to the old, diminished woman. “I will no longer hear her voice... I have lost the last link to the world from which I came.”
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. "

FAQ
Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!
Are the books New?
Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.
What defines the prices of the books?
As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.
Do you have a shop?
My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine.
