A review by aimeeslittlelibrary
The Years by Annie Ernaux
5.0
Phew. How do you even review a book that covers over 70 years? Collective experience, public consciousness, personal change, the progression of thought and ideas. It’s a vast book, and not an “easy” one at that - but compulsively readable. How is it that even the pace of writing changes, that the experience of reading feels like it is tumbling more and more out of control with the rise of capitalism and pace of politics. It’s an insane novel. Completely unforgettable. Astonishing reading.
