A Man's Place by Annie Ernaux

One of the book I got for Xmas from a dear friend, and the last book read in 2014.
It describe the life of Annie Ernaux's father in a attempt to understand their relationship and their many silences over the years.
It is generally described as a very "rational" book, in contrast I found it very poetic and imaginative, even though, I must confess, it didn't captivate me that much.
