Annie is playing outside in the sun. Her mother steps out of the grocery to chat with a customer, a few metres from her. The two women's conversation is perfectly audible; its scraps become etched forever in Annie's memory. Before she was born, her parents had another daughter. She died at the age of six from diphtheria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnnie will never hear another word from her parents about this unknown sister, nor will she ask them a single question about her: their family unit has formed in the image of its vanished predecessor. In \u003cem\u003eThe Other Girl\u003c\/em\u003e, brilliantly translated for the first time into English by Alison L. Strayer, Annie Ernaux explores the meaning of this family secret, and the insurmountable distance that separates the two sisters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47496618311916,"sku":"9781804271841","price":24.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781804271841-the-other-girl.jpg?v=1775799723","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-other-girl-by-annie-ernaux-9781804271841","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
