In this direct and vibrant narration, Annie Ernaux, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, presents us with the chronicle of a passionate infatuation at fifty years old. With a sober and precise writing, the author immerses herself in her memories and relates them with total transparency. Throughout several months, the protagonist awaits the calls of A., an Eastern diplomat with a certain resemblance to Alain Delon, with whom she relives the emotional, physical, and intellectual madness that we call passion in its simplest and purest state. It is a passion of the body and mind, in search of a pleasure without tenderness, lived without shame or victimhood. Annie Ernaux draws the time of waiting and absence, made of emotions and obsessions in a roller coaster, when the lover occupies the thought and the world disappears.
