Title: Simple Passion Author: Annie Ernaux ISBN: 9781583225745 Publisher: Seven Stories Press Published: 2003 Binding: Paperback Language: English Edition: Reprint Condition Note: New from the publisher Publisher Description: A New York Times Notable Book In her spare, stark style, Annie Ernaux documents the desires and indignities of a human heart ensnared in an all-consuming passion. Blurring the line between fact and fiction, an unnamed narrator attempts to plot the emotional and physical course of her two-year relationship with a married foreigner where every word, event, and person either provides a connection with her beloved or is subject to her cold indifference. With courage and exactitude, she seeks the truth behind an existence lived entirely for someone else, and, in the pieces of its aftermath, she is able to find it. Show more
