La Place is a poignant autobiographical account in which Annie Ernaux reflects on her father’s life and their social world. Through
memories of his work as a small-town shopkeeper, his modest ambitions, and his social class, Ernaux examines family bonds, social mobility,
and the subtle pressures of class and identity in mid-20th-century France.
