Happening is Annie Ernaux’s deeply personal account of her experience with an illegal abortion in France before the procedure was legalized.

First published in 1999, the novel combines intimate memoir with a broader reflection on the social and political realities of the time. Through a precise and unflinching narrative, Ernaux shows how a personal experience becomes a public and political issue, revealing the consequences of a society that preferred to ignore rather than address the problem.
