In her spare, stark style, Annie Ernaux documents the desires and indignities of a human heart ensnared in an all-consuming passion. Blurring the line between fact and fiction, an unnamed narrator attempts to plot the emotional and physical course of her two-year relationship with a married foreigner where every word, event, and person either provides a connection with her beloved or is subject to her cold indifference. With courage and exactitude, she seeks the truth behind an existence lived entirely for someone else, and, in the pieces of its aftermath, she is able to find it.

Le monde immédiat, elle l’observe nuit et jour de sa fenêtre.

"Peut-on nommer son propre sang ? Et décrire la première blessure, ce moment où, paraissant au jour, le sang se refuse encore à la vie ? À supposer qu'on se rappelle sa circoncision, pourquoi cet acte de mémoire serait-il une confession ? L'aveu de quoi, au juste ? Et de qui ? À qui ?
