woman

Book name: Woman Author: Annie Ernaux Publisher: Jamal Publications Book classification: Novels Number of pages: 76 About the book: This is not a biography, nor a novel of course. Perhaps it is something between literature, sociology, and history. Because it was necessary for my mother, who was born in a oppressed middle, always wished to escape from it, to turn into a history so that I would feel that I am less alone and less costly in the oppressive world of words and ideas, which I moved to at her request. I will not hear her voice again. She is, and her words, her hands, her movements, her style in laughing, and her walking, were the ones who unified the woman I am today with the girl I was before. With her death, I lost the last link between me and the world I came from.
