We can better understand Anno Erno’s literary journey, her relationship with her hometown, life, and what she learned from him by reading The Book of Return to the ITOUR à yVetot, published for the first time in 2013. In this book, Erno, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2022, writes about her childhood and youth in a look back.
In the book, Anna Erno portrays a young girl who began at a grocery store on Du Close de Barts Street and became engaged in a popular world as a youngster and a teenager. She constantly wonders, “Will I Write?”

This text accompanied by a book of personal photos with handwritten notes will be presented in a new revised version of her book “Return to Avito” on November 18 in France, according to the French Actiolet website, and is expected to find a boom after Any Erno won the Nobel Prize.
The book includes updated images, schoolwork and books from as early as the sixth grade, and messages from Anno Erno to her friend Mary Claude (written when she was between the ages of 17 and 22) that contain passages from her memoirs at the time of sending her first book, which he refused to publish.
Notes written by Annie Erno in her own hand
Through the pages of her notes, where she wrote, “I would like to publish more than anything else,” readers will be able to learn about the French writer’s intense desire to continue writing.
In her book, Annie Erno recalls the time she spent in Ivito, Normandy, the city of her origins, as well as the memory from her imagination of being invited by the municipality to attend a conference where she discussed her job, writing, books, past, and parents. She also included information about a meeting with Margaret Corner, a professor of the library who had just successfully defended a thesis on the value of literature in her biography with Annie Erno.
Rare video of Anno Erno’s life is revealed in her notes, according to the Nobel Prize laureate in literature.
