Description

Bonjour Tristesse tells the story of Cécile, a young woman who rejects conventional notions of love and responsibility in favour of her own sexual freedom. Set against the glamorous backdrop of the French Riviera, this novel explores the complexities of love and relationships through the eyes of its troubled heroine.

With its vivid portrayal of 1950s France's 'Beautiful People', Françoise Sagan's debut novel caused a scandal when it was first published, sparking controversy with its frank depiction of teenage desire and rebellion. This provocative tale of love, loss and identity continues to appeal to readers with its unflinching honesty.

First published in 1954, Bonjour Tristesse is a powerful exploration of the human experience, one that remains as relevant today as it was when it first shocked the literary world.
