Publisher's Summary
Barely educated and valued since childhood strictly for his labor, Ernaux's father had grown into a hard, practical man who showed his family little affection. Narrating his slow ascent towards material comfort, Ernaux's cold observation reveals the shame that haunted her father throughout his life. She scrutinizes the importance he attributed to manners and language that came so unnaturally to him as he struggled to provide for his family with a grocery store and cafe in rural France. Over the course of the book, Ernaux grows up to become the uncompromising observer now familiar to the world, while her father matures into old age with a staid appreciation for life as it is and for a daughter he cautiously, even reluctantly, admires.

This heart warming narrative is a collection of emotions expressed in carefully chosen words.I have lost my old man for 10 years now.I could connect with the narrative immediately.Throughout the audiobook,I kept remembering him.
The audiobook itself is fantastically narrated.
