"Vielleicht macht das Erzählen, egal in welcher Form, jede beliebige Tat, sogar die dramatischste, zu etwas Normalen. Das Schlimmste an der Scham ist, dass man glaubt, man wäre die Einzige, die so empfindet."

5.0

Annie Ernaux puso en palabras lo que es crecer en un pueblo, en donde las barreras de lo privado y lo público son confusas. Pero, más allá de su descripción de una vida a la que muchas nos acercamos al vivir en un pueblo, habla de lo que una cree es innombrable, de lo que atormenta nuestra niñez: la vergüenza, eso que nos acompaña mientras crecemos. En sus palabras: «La vergüenza no es más que repetición y acumulación.»

dark emotional reflective sad fast-paced

i'm thinking i don't really understand the "pace of a book".
this was my first book by Ms. Ernaux and going from having multiples of quotes of her on my tumblr, i'm happy this was my start. as unfortunate as it is, shame is something i'm very familiar with and as i dig deeper on myself, trying to understand it, found myself relating a lot to this recount, so it was very enjoyable and emotional.
it's a really nice book that you can finish one Sunday afternoon, little before the sunsets starts and the lights coming from the windows begin to shadow, tranquil but your insides feel more than you like, some tears, some sniffs, some release; luckily, some liberation comes to you, later at night, when you can't sleep and think about your own childhood terrors.
