Memòria de noia

It's the summer of 1958. Far from her family for the first time as a camp monitor, an eighteen-year-old girl boldly enters the world: love and sex, the bewilderment of being young, remorse , the desire to be free and an adult... In Memory of a Girl, Annie Ernaux recalls her first night with a man, a night that will leave an indelible mark on her: for decades she will not want to be recognized in that "girl of 58". Until more than fifty years later, he will finally be able to face it -he will dive into photos and letters of that time, he will illuminate the rejected memories again- and he will write these pages sprinkled with secret worries and pains, of violence, shame and silences, which are a most intimate portrait of his youth.
