About this product

Product Information

Published when she was only nineteen, Francoise Sagan's astonishing first novel Bonjour Tristesse became an instant bestseller. It tells the story of Cecile, who leads a carefree life with her widowed father and his young mistresses until, one hot summer on the Riviera, he decides to remarry - with devastating consequences. In A Certain Smile Dominique, a young woman bored with her lover, begins an encounter with an older man that unfolds in unexpected and troubling ways. These two acerbically witty and delightfully amoral tales about the nature of love are shimmering masterpieces of cool-headed, brilliant observation.

Revolutionary, almost
In its day it was quite shocking, Revolutionary, almost. Nowdays it is quite tame but the emptiness of mindless chase after plesure is universal. Sagan could not recreate the impact of her firs book. I think that success become a heavy stone hanging on her neck .
