A review by withlivjones
Simple Passion by Annie Ernaux

reflective fast-paced

3.75

“Sometimes I wonder if the purpose of my writing is to find out whether other people have done or felt the same things or, if not, for them to consider experiencing such things as normal. Maybe I would also like them to live out these very emotions in turn, forgetting that they had once read about them somewhere.” 

A brief but impactful memoir about the effect of all-consuming passion on the author’s thoughts and behaviour. Alexa, play “Down Bad” by Taylor Swift.
