In "Happening," Annie Ernaux reflects on her harrowing experience with an unplanned pregnancy in 1963 France, a time when abortion was illegal. Confronted by societal shame and personal desperation, she recounts her attempts to terminate the pregnancy, including a risky self-abortion that lands her in a hospital. Through a meticulous examination of her memories and journal entries, Ernaux offers a poignant exploration of the emotional and social consequences of her choices.
