holyhekkador 's review for:

Simple Passion (India) by Annie Ernaux
3.0

My third book today about obsession for a man. I liked the prose, and I was engaged by the depiction of a woman enraptured. The way she would spend day after day thinking of nothing but A, everything she did just marking time until she would talk to or see him again. I also liked the transmutation of the affair into writing, and the comments Ernaux would make about the process of writing about oneself. The book was short, clear, and beautiful. But I only enjoyed it 3 stars worth.
