DO WHAT THEY SAY OR ELSE - ANNIE ERNAUX KARTONI...

Originally published in 1977  Do What They Say or Else is the second novel by French author
Annie Ernaux. Set in a small town in Normandy  FR  the novel tells the story of a
fifteen-year-old girl named Anne  who lives with her working-class parents. The story  which
takes place during the summer and fall of Anne's transition from middle school to high school 
is narrated in a stream-of-consciousness style from her point of view. Ernaux captures Anne's
adolescent voice  through which she expresses her keen observations in a highly colloquial
style. As the novel progresses  and Anne's feelings about her parents  her education  and her
sexual encounters evolve  she grows into a more mature but also more conflicted and unhappy
character  leaving behind the innocence of her middle school years. Not only must she navigate
the often-confusing signals she receives from boys  but she also finds herself moving further
and further away from her parents as she surpasses their educational level and worldview.
