A Woman's Story by Annie Ernaux

It is that time when you get to read memoirs :) 

And the trend continues. An amazing and brief memoir of a mother. But I did pick it up since I looked up some of her works after her getting the Nobel prize in 2022.

Irrespective of Nobel prize or not, this is a really powerful memoir from a daughter. This doesn't really go like a biography but more like the thoughts. Like someone is telling a story about someone we all know.

Parents take a very large part of memories (good or bad). Not because they brought you in the world or they are part of your earliest consciousness but because they are the scale we calibrate every single person around us.

It is worth a read, and maybe you'll see your mother in those pages somewhere.

Love
