Pura passió

In this direct and vibrant narrative, Annie Ernaux chronicles a passionate love affair at the turn of fifty. And she does it, as is usual for her, diving into her memories and recounting them with total transparency, using a sober and precise writing. Over the course of a bunch of months, he will do nothing but wait, at home, for the calls of A., a diplomat from the East with a retreat to Alain Delon, with whom he once again feels that emotional, physical and intellectual that we call passion, in its simplest and purest state.
