As a huge Ernaux fan, I was completely underwhelmed by this book. It was totally unprofound. Ernaux seemed like she set herself a year-long writing prompt but there was no point to it, and worse, she thinks there’s a point. Doesn’t meaningfully engage in wealth disparities and is fixated on women in head scarves.

Considering, thoughtful tone as her usual. This very short one on consumerist reality has more touch of the warmth in our messy humanity than usual. Comforting night read.
