That is also the question that female writer Brigitte Giraud asked in her semi-autobiographical book Living in a Hurry, which won the prestigious Goncourt Prize in 2022.
WHEN THE PAIN COMES BACK
Sharing about Living in a Hurry, Brigitte said she had intended to write it for a long time, but it was only when the city government decided to plan the house she had lived in for 20 years that the lines of writing flowed out.
Like the cycle of a life, Brigitte places the first `if onlys` starting from the house.
Doubts were written down in Living in a Hurry with an almost neutral tone, without blame or anger.

CRAZY QUESTIONS
The closer it got to the time of the accident, the more crazy the widow became with theories.
For example, if my grandfather had not chosen to commit suicide because his wife died due to pollution from a pharmaceutical company, she would not have had the inheritance to buy the house.
Like Annie Ernaux or Camille Laurens, Brigitte Giraud joined the association of authors who through personal stories reflect French society 40 years ago.
