Summary: AS EXCELLENT AS HER BONJOUR TRISTESSE!, SAGAN DID IT AGAIN!!
Review: If you loved her first novel, Bonjour Tristesse!, then you are bound to adore this second novel of hers as much. Written forty years ago and set in the 1950s France, the novel tells the story of Dominique the young existential Sorbonne student who falls in love with Luc who is possibly thirty years older than she is. Sagan writes with conscise prose that spells out how it is like to be a twenty year old and love a fifty year old man. Her descpriptions of feelings and emotions of this delicate and confusing age is genuine and sincere. Bravo, Sagan!!
