      In un’assolata domenica d’estate una bambina ascolta per caso una conversazione della madre, e la sua vita cambia per sempre: i genitori hanno avuto un’altra figlia, morta ancora piccola due anni prima che lei nascesse. È una rivelazione che diviene lo spartiacque di un’infanzia, segna il destino di una donna e di una scrittrice, e infiamma l’intensa prosa di questo romanzo breve. «Per lasciarsi alle spalle il fuori fuoco del vissuto» Annie Ernaux intraprende una lettera impossibile a quella sorella sconosciuta. Rivivono così i sensi di colpa e i moti d’orgoglio, le curiosità taciute e le inconfessabili gelosie, il peso del confronto e il privilegio di essere amata. Ancora una volta la grande autrice francese intesse una prodigiosa corrispondenza di sensi tra vivi e morti, scolpendo in una scrittura perfetta la storia di una relazione fragile, preziosa e irrimediabile come ogni esistenza umana.
