I REMAIN IN DARKNESS

A powerful meditation on ageing and familial love, I Remain in Darkness recounts Annie Ernaux s attempts to help her mother recover from Alzheimer s disease, and then, when that proves futile, to bear witness to the older woman s gradual decline and her own experience as a daughter losing a beloved parent. Haunting and devastatingly poignant, I Remain in Darkness showcases Ernaux s unique talent for evoking life s darkest and most bewildering episodes.
