Den frosne kvinde
Moderne feministisk klassiker om kvinders mental load. En roman om vejen fra ung pige fuld af drømme til “frossen kvinde”, ulykkelig og fastlåst i et borgerligt ægteskab. I sin selvbiografiske roman skildrer Annie Ernaux en slægt af stærke, arbejdende kvinder. Fortællerens forældre har et ligestillet forhold, og moren opfordrer hende til at læse og lære. Langsomt går det op for hende, at forældrene bliver set som helt forrykte, at de er et klovnepar i omverdenens øjne. Som ung kvinde havner hun selv i et traditionelt ægteskab, hvor hun forventes at interessere sig for, hvordan man begår sig i et supermarked og indretter et hjem. Gradvist brister illusionen om tilværelsen som lykkelig gift kvinde. Den frosne kvinde (1981) er nobelpristageren Annie Ernaux’ tredje bog, og den sidste, hun selv betragter som en roman. Det er første og eneste gang, hun har skrevet om sit ægteskab. Romanen er en af hendes mest populære bøger i Frankrig, hvor den har klassikerstatus. “Klar perfektion, ren
