An extraordinary
evocation of a grown daughter’s attachment to her mother, and of both
women’s strength and resiliency. "I Remain in Darkness" recounts Annie’s
attempts first to help her mother recover from Alzheimer’s disease, and
then, when that proves futile, to bear witness to the older woman’s
gradual decline and her own experience as a daughter losing a beloved
parent.
"I Remain in Darkness" is a new high water mark for Ernaux,
surging with raw emotional power and her sublime ability to use language
to apprehend her own life’s particular music.
