LovedThis was a book that when I started reading, I was like, "What the is this trash?" Like I did not like it. and then the book really grew on me and it's a book I think about all the time.

Rock, Paper, Scissors (2015)
Creators: Loved LovedSimilar books
Annie ErnauxShe is thirty years old, a teacher married to an executive, mother of two infant sons. She lives in a nice apartment. And yet she is a frozen woman. Like millions of others, she has felt her enthusiasm and curiosity - the strength and happiness that once were a part of her - ebb and then disappear under the weight of her daily routine. The very condition that everyone around her seems to consider normal for a woman is killing her.
In A Frozen Woman, Annie Ernaux shows once again her gift for lending power and authenticity to a distinctly womanist voice. While each of Ernaux's books contains an autobiographical element, A Frozen Woman, is the most autobiographical of all. Where A Woman's Story described her relationship with her mother, and Simple Passion described a fleeting love affair with a younger man, A Frozen Woman concentrates the spotlight on Annie herself.
Mixing affection, rage and bitterness, this is Ernaux at her most harrowing, affecting and inspiring.
