<b>From the twice Booker-shortlisted author of<i> The Reluctant Fundamentalist </i>and <i>Exit West</i>, a story of love, loss, and rediscovery in a time of unsettling change</b><br/><br/> One morning, Anders wakes to find that his skin has turned dark, his reflection a stranger to him.

Some see in the transformations the long-dreaded overturning of an established order, to be resisted to a bitter end. In many, like Anders's father and Oona's mother, a sense of profound loss wars with profound love.<br/><br/> As the bond between Anders and Oona deepens, change takes on a different shading: a chance to see one another, face to face, anew.<br/><br/> <b>'A transformative tale . . .

And yet, like millions of other women, she has felt her enthusiasm and curiosity, her strength and her happiness, slowly ebb under the weight of her daily routine. The very condition that everyone around her seems to consider normal and admirable for a woman is killing her. While each of Ernaux's books contain an autobiographical element, A Frozen Woman, one of Ernaux's early works, concentrates the spotlight piercingly on Annie herself.
