Memories are selective and personal. With The Years, Ernaux wants to rescue them from time, things that never will be again.
From the 90's, she gets more annoyed and falls into the trap of all old people. Nostalgia, things that were better in the past. Her anchors are 1968 and 1981 (start of the Mitterand era).
When she wants to get closer to memories, she uses first person plural. Days with her sons, major issues.

A memoir in third person. A quick ride through the years. Small vignettes often inspired by photos, otherwise by entries in her diary. Sometimes it's about events of the time albeit selectively, mostly about her thoughts. Frequent mention of books she read, music she listened, products used. What was common, how she distinguished herself from her parents and fellows.
