Features: "Say Short Sentences, My Love" is a selected work of French literature for the "Best Foreign Novel of the 21st Century" award. "Say Short Sentences, My Love" is the teaching and reminder from the author's mother to her daughter about writing. The author uses this title to deeply express her grief for her mother. The entire book is written in the form of a personal narrative, recreating the process of the mother's aging and death in a nursing home, and genuinely conveying the complex and subtle emotions the author experienced while being with her mother. However, what runs through the entire story is the persistent family love and the touching mother-daughter bond. The novel's language is simple, concise, and unadorned, yet it possesses strong artistic appeal.
