In 1963, Annie Ernaux , 23 and unattached, realizes she is pregnant.
Shame arises in her like a plague: understanding that her pregnancy will mark her and her family as social failures, she knows she cannot keep that child.
This is the story, written forty years later, of a trauma Ernaux never overcame.
