Thank you for choosing these memoirs of girlhood: five female coming-of-age stories. Why do you find it such a compelling subject? I think we spend our lifetimes trying to make sense of it. These are our most formative years, the years when how we think—our very brain structure, according to neuroscience—is being shaped. During puberty, similarly to post-partum, our brains show radical changes. So, we live with the repercussions of our girlhoods.

There is something extraordinary about the first sight of the other’s sex, the unveiling of what was hitherto unknown. So that is what we’re going to live with, live our love with. Or not. We’d had dinner together in a restaurant he knew well on Rue Servandoni, near the Jardin du Luxembourg.

The newest of Ernauxs memoirs is another of her usual recounting of intimate love…Julian Barnes in his magnificent The Sense of an Ending (2011) says in a rather self-censuring tone, "...what you end up remembering isn always the same as what you have witnessed." Annie Ernaux, the French Nobel winning octogenarian, however, contrasts this very notion of remembering after witnessing.

I read this book long before Annie Ernaux was awarded the Nobel Prize. It was the first of her books that I read, and I was so seized by her style of narration that I proceeded to read with devotion everything she had written.
