French writer Annie Ernaux has won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
The 82-year-old writer is known for works that blur the line between memoir and fiction.
Her debut novel was "Les Armoires Vides" in 1974 but she gained international recognition following the publication of "Les Années" in 2008, translated into English as "The Years" in 2017.
The prestigious accolade is awarded by the Swedish Academy and is worth 10 million Swedish kronor (£807,000).
Ernaux is the first French woman to win the literature prize.
