I Remain in Darkness
I Remain in Darkness | Annie Ernaux
2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Washington Post Top Memoir of 1999 An extraordinary evocation of a grown daughters attachment to her mother, and of both womens strength and resiliency. "I Remain in Darkness" recounts Annies attempts first to help her mother recover from Alzheimers disease, and then, when that proves futile, to bear witness to the older womans gradual decline and her own experience as a daughter losing a beloved parent. "I Remain in Darkness" is a new high water mark for Ernaux, surging with raw emotional power and her sublime ability to use language to apprehend her own lifes particular music.

Ernaux mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer. This is the last years of her mother‘s at a home. After visiting her mother, Ernaux would write down a few sentences in loose papers. Those papers have turned into this slim book of 100p. And it‘s so powerful and makes you think about old age.

5th book for #MarvellousMarch and #MarchMadness @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

vlwelser Ernaux is on my list of authors to explore more. I love her writing. And the short books help. 13mo
AnneCecilie @vlwelser I tend to not like short books, I feel that they not fleshed out enough. But Ernaux writing is so concise, that for me they just work. 13mo
