Die Scham by Annie Ernaux
A compact autobiographical memoir in which the narrator revisits a childhood episode of public humiliation and the family's ensuing ostracism, tracing how that moment anchored a persistent, private sense of shame tied to poverty and social class. Through spare, precise recollection the work examines memory, silence, and the lasting psychological effects of a single traumatic event on identity and family relationships.
