Synopsis

In this novel, which brought Annie Ernaux critical and public acclaim, the author turns to her father’s life, from the moment of his death, to examine the distance that separated her from her family’s original class status.

why we recorded it

Endowed with the author’s characteristic style, this book tells more than just an individual story. The life of Ernaux’s father, a working-class man who came from a poor background and had little formal education, and who watched his daughter rise through the ranks of society through her studies, touches on the experiences of many men and women in mid-20th century France. This individual story shared by a collective makes this novel an autosociobiography of great universal weight. In the voice of Isabel Teixeira, this work continues the publication of audiobooks by the 2022 Nobel literature prize winner in Brazil, produced by Supersônica in partnership with the Fósforo publishing house.
