Description:

A 23-year-old, brilliant college student discovers she is pregnant. Overcome with shame, aware that that pregnancy will represent a social failure for her and her family, she knows that she will not be able to have that child. But in 1963 France, abortion is illegal and there is no one to turn to. Forty years later, the memories of that event are still present, in a trauma that is impossible to overcome and whose shadows extend beyond individual history. Written with razor-sharp clarity, without gimmicks, this is a powerful novel about suffering, justice and the condition of women. Written by Annie Ernaux in 1999, it was adapted to cinema in 2021 by Audrey Diwan, in a film that won the Golden Lion in Venice.
