’n Tienjarige dogter vind toevallig uit van ’n suster wat twee jaar voor haar geboorte oorlede is. Dié dogter was die Franse skrywer Annie Ernaux, wat in 2022 die Nobelprys vir letterkunde ontvang het. Skielik was Annie nie meer ’n enigste kind nie, maar die plaasvervanger vir ’n groot afwesigheid wat voortleef in haar ouers se woordelose verdrietigheid. Haar suster moes sterf sodat sy as die ‘vervanging’ kon leef. ’n Ragfyn stuk oor skuld, familie en verlies.
A 10-year-old girl accidentally discovers the existence of a sister who died two years before she was born. That girl was Annie Ernaux, recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2022. Suddenly, Annie was no longer an only child, but the substitute for a profound absence that lives on in her parents’ unspoken sorrow. Her sister had to die so that she could live as the ‘replacement’. A delicate piece about guilt, family and loss.
