Description
Bonjour Tristesse And, a Certain Smile by Françoise Sagan Françoise Sagan's provocative novellas, first published in the 1950s, have been retranslated to bring her unflinching and explicit stories to a new generation of readers. This collection includes the story of Cécile, whose life is turned upside down when her widowed father decides to remarry, and the story of Dominique, who embarks on a complicated encounter with an older man. Sagan's frank and honest portrayal of adolescence and relationships has been praised for its raw emotion and unapologetic candour. Now, with a new translation and introduction by Rachel Cusk, these novellas can be read in their entirety, unedited and unfiltered. Heather Lloyd's fresh translation brings Sagan's writing to life, while her new afterword provides valuable context for this edition.
