A WOMANS STORY - ANNIE ERNAUX TASCHENBUCH

A New York Times Notable Book  A Woman's Story is Annie Ernaux's "deeply affecting account of
mothers and daughters  youth and age  and dreams and reality" (Kirkus Reviews). Upon her
mother's death from Alzheimer's  Ernaux embarks on a daunting journey back through time  as she
seeks to "capture the real woman  the one who existed independently from me  born on the
outskirts of a small Normandy town  and who died in the geriatric ward of a hospital in the
suburbs of Paris." She explores the bond between mother and daughter  tenuous and unshakable at
once  the alienating worlds that separate them  and the inescapable truth that we must lose the
ones we love. In this quietly powerful tribute  Ernaux attempts to do her mother the greatest
justice she can: to portray her as the individual she was. She writes  "I believe I am writing
about my mother because it is my turn to bring her into the world."
