Die Scham by Annie Ernaux

informative reflective fast-paced

3.75

The parts when Ernaux reflects on her situation as a child, about what made her upbringing different and how long it took her to understand that, because she had no one from a different class to compare herself to, were the strongest parts in this book. What was considered to be important, how to behave and how to pretend. Apart from that this was the weakest of the ones I've read by this author so far for me.
