Annie Ernaux se esfuerza aquí por reencontrar los diferentes rostros y la vida de su madre, muerta el 7 de abril de 1986, al término de una enfermedad que había destruido su memoria y su integridad intelectual y física. Ella, tan activa, tan abierta al mundo. Búsqueda de la existencia de una mujer, obrera, luego comerciante ansiosa por mantener su nuevo estatus y por aprender. Puesta al día, también, de la evolución y la ambivalencia de los sentimientos de una hija por su madre: amor, odio, ternura, culpabilidad, y, por último, apego visceral a la anciana disminuida.

A través de recuerdos dejados por los acontecimientos, las palabras y las cosas, Annie Ernaux nos hace sentir el paso de los años, desde la posguerra hasta hoy. Al mismo tiempo, inscribe la existencia en una nueva forma de autobiografía, impersonal y colectiva.

En Memoria de chica, Annie Ernaux se sumerge en el verano de 1958, el de su primera noche con un hombre, en la colonia de S, en el Orne.

Hasta la valiente decisión de reconstruirla escribiéndola, ayudada por fotografías y cartas recuperadas, sumida en una búsqueda: la de sus antiguos amigos y amigas, la de Él, ese primer hombre, pero sobre todo la de sí misma, aquella Annie que tanto le cuesta entender a la Annie actual, en un vaivén implacable entre el ayer y el hoy.

One of the most compelling figures ever to lace on a pair of skates, Carl Brewer was a gifted skater and stickhandler, renowned for his ability to control the pace of a game and goad opponents into costly errors. His talents made him an NHL All-Star and one of the cornerstones of a Toronto Maple Leafs dynasty. But he was also a loner playing a team game, a free spirit in an era when players were expected not to make waves. Teammates and management alike wrote him off as an eccentric, an enigma.
