DESCRIPTION +

A Frozen Woman is a powerful autobiographical novel by acclaimed French author Annie Ernaux. In this deeply personal work, Ernaux reflects on her life from childhood through adulthood, examining the constraints and expectations imposed on women by society. The narrative traces the author’s experience of growing up in a working-class family in post-war France, getting married, and becoming a mother—all while struggling with the loss of personal freedom and identity.
