My partner got me this book just after I had my abortion since he is doing a French degree and I love the rawness of translated fiction. Ernaux does not just capture the emotional pain of abortion access, but she paints a picture of the physical pain that comes with it. It’s an insightful read from a historical perspective on the struggles of abortion access over the past few decades, a vital read for those who have never accessed abortion and a source of reflection for those who have. I have a feeling I will be coming back to this again.
