La place

Book • 1983
La Place by Annie Ernaux is a deeply personal and sociological account of her father's life.

The book traces his journey from an impoverished child to the owner of a small épicerie in Normandy.

It delves into the class struggles and social changes of 20th-century France, reflecting on the father's constant struggle to find his place within society.

The narrative is characterized by Ernaux's unique 'écriture plate' (flat writing) style, which uses simple, unembellished vocabulary to convey a powerful and emotive account of lived history.

The book also explores the author's complex relationship with her father and the societal and personal implications of their different social classes.
