'My father tried to kill my mother one Sunday in June,in the early afternoon.' Thus begins Shame, the probingstory of the twelve-year-old girl who will become AnnieErnaux, and the traumatic memory that will echo andresonate throughout her life.
With the emotionally rich voice of great fiction and the analytical eye of a scientist, Annie Ernaux provides a powerful reflection on experience and the force of violent memory to endure through time, to deter-mine the course of a life.
