Generally I don‘t like short books, and then there‘s Ernaux. It‘s hard to explain, but she has a way with words that just pulls you in. In this one she explores the shame after her father tried to kill her mother. The day was 15th June 1952. A day that forever changed her and she is trying to look at that through the society she lived in at home, at school and its aftermaths.
