Description

Paperback edition of Ernaux's literary memoir which traces the descent of Ernaux's mother into the depths of Alzheimer's disease and reveals the author's own complex feelings of guilt and responsibility toward the woman she still loved and admired but could no longer help. 'A testament to the persistent, haunting, and melancholy quality of memory.' - The New York Times

Reviews

"As revealed by Ernaux, the details of a loved one's deterioration have such emblematic force and terror that the particular becomes universal." - The New York Times Book Review "Originally written, unguarded, unadorned." - Review of Contemporary Fiction"
