About This Novel
This book is Anne Ernault's second published novel. The protagonist is Anna, an adolescent girl who has graduated from junior high school and is about to enter high school. She longs to understand the world and contact others, but she cannot escape loneliness after all. As she grows up, Anna's feelings about her parents, education, and sex change, and she becomes more mature, but also more conflicted and unhappy. She found that she had surpassed her parents in education and worldview, and was getting further and further away from them. Anna's story is splendidly narrated in a colloquial language style and stream-of-consciousness writing. The value of this work is not only that it allows us to see the beginning and development of Erno's writing style, but also allows us to witness the literary turning point of a master, which is fascinating.
