A review by luci_ja
The Years by Annie Ernaux

4.5

An attempt to make sense of events past, current and those yet to be. A re-telling, reflection, and re-living, while showing that the personal is always political, even if we might feel distanced from or dissilusioned by it. Beautifully written, with some many snippets and thoughtful comments that I regretted listening to it in an audiobook form, unable to highlight entire passages. A compass, and a light (self-)ironic portrayal of someone looking back at their life, which can also serve as a navigation point to our present.
