A powerful meditation on ageing and familial love, I Remain in Darkness recounts Annie Ernaux s attempts 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. Haunting and devastatingly poignant, I Remain in Darkness showcases Ernaux s unique talent for evoking life s darkest and most bewildering episodes.

Born in 1940, Annie Ernaux grew up in Normandy, studied at Rouen University, and later taught at secondary school. From 1977 to 2000, she was a professor at the Centre National d Enseignement par Correspondance. Her books, in particular A Man s Place and A Woman s Story, have become contemporary classics in France. The Years won the Prix Renaudot in France in 2008 and the Premio Strega in Italy in 2016. In 2017, Annie Ernaux was awarded the Marguerite Yourcenar Prize for her life s work.
Tanya Leslie was the first translator of Annie Ernaux into English and translated a number of her works, including A Woman s Story (1991), A Man s Place (1992), Simple Passion (1993), Shame (1998), I Remain in Darkness (1999) and Happening (2001).
