Description
Happening is a deeply personal and powerful account of a pivotal moment in the life of Annie Ernaux, a young woman whose life was forever changed in 1963. At 23, Ernaux found herself facing an unwanted pregnancy, a situation that would have far-reaching consequences for her and her family.
Ernaux recounts her experience with unflinching honesty, detailing the shame and desperation that accompanied her decision to seek an abortion in a France where the procedure was illegal. With a keen eye for detail, she sifts through her memories and journal entries, shedding light on the trauma she endured and the ways in which it continues to shape her life.
Written forty years after the event, Happening is a searing and thought-provoking exploration of one woman's struggle to come to terms with her past. This is a story of courage, resilience, and the enduring power of the human spirit.
