The Years
by Annie Ernaux

The Years is an examination of the collective history of the twentieth century, looking at our attitudes to change, our reactions to news headlines, which memories we choose to take with us and why we will always remember certain events, viewed through the prism of a fascinating personal memoir. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2022, this is a remarkable book and an equally remarkable translation.
