Annie Ernaux, author of La place (Gallimard), has created a “complete” novel with Les années. Is this wonderful, illuminating fresco, Annie Ernaux becomes the archeologist of her own memory and plunges us, for the period of a lifetime, into the exploration of an entire era. Over six decades, at the rhythm at which one flicks through a photo album, History merges with the intimate and personal memories weave together along a collective history, life and writing intertwining. This is a dazzling chef d’oeuvre in which melancholy becomes the guardian of time and of memories.
