If your reaction to Annie Ernaux winning the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature is 'who?' then don't worry about it, I've got you covered. I read seven of her books in a week to get to grips with what it is the Nobel committee saw in her.
Books read for this video:
A man's place
Simple Passion
Exteriors
Happening
Getting Lost
The Years
A Girl's Story
