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. Mixing affection, rage and bitterness, A Frozen Woman shows us Ernaux’s developing art when she still relied on traditional narrative, before the shortened form emerged that has since become her trademark.
