Annie Ernaux’s latest book on love with a college student

“But I knew, looking at that mature couple, that if I was with a twenty-five-year-old boy it was so as not to continually find myself in front of the marked face of a man of my age, that of my own aging”

His extreme jealousy – he accused me of having received a man because he found the tablet raised in my bathroom – made it useless to doubt his passion for me and absurd the criticism that, I was almost certain, his friends must have moved him, how do you dating a woman in menopause?
