Even if it's been 20 years since one has last had the feeling, Ernaux's writing entices one to contemplate those feelings, what the body demands, and what the mind rationalizes. It's funny because I picked this book up expecting to find a simple passion! And it was absolutely complex and full of mindfulness. At least in my humble opinion. There were several expressive statements that forced me to pause and reflect. The book might be in our fiction section, but the writing is real. And the feeling is most definitely real. -Melody
