Pubblicato nel 1912, questo romanzo ebbe un grande successo, non solo perché raccontava lo “scandalo russo”, la storia dell’avventuriera Maria Tarnowska, condannata a 8 anni per aver spinto , con la complicità di un suo amante, un altro suo amante a uccidere il suo futuro marito; ma perché la storia di questa donna la vedeva al centro di grandi passioni e di suicidi (se ne contano almeno due). Maria Tarnowska ebbe una pena mite grazie all’impostazione della difesa che mostrò la sua storia di sposa bambina con un pervertito, e la sua infermità mentale, dovuta anche alla cocaina.

In these diaries, it is 1989, and Annie is divorced with two grown sons, living outside of Paris, and nearing fifty. Her lover escapes the city to see her there, and Ernaux seems to survive only in expectation of these encounters, saying “his desire for me is the only thing I can be sure of.” She cannot write; she trudges distractedly through her various other commitments in the world; she awaits his next call; she lives only to feel desire and for the next rendezvous. When he is gone and the desire has faded, she feels that she is a step closer to death.
