In sparse but eloquent prose, Ernaux explores the mother-daughter bond, the alienating worlds that threaten to disrupt it, and the inescapable truth that we must lose the ones we love. Featured in this impressive work from one of France's most important contemporary literary voices is a reading group guide as well as an original author interview. Publisher Description A deeply affecting account of mothers and daughters, youth and age, and dreams and reality (Kirkus Reviews), this is Ernauxs daunting journey through time as she was confronted with the reality of her mothers death from Alzheimers. Exploring the tenuous bond between mother and daughter, at once tenuous and unshakeable, the alienating worlds that separate them, and the inescapable truth that we must one day lose the ones we love, this is a quietly powerful tribute.
