Paule, a thirty-nine-year-old interior designer in Paris, has a long relationship with Roger, a charming man who has affairs and keeps her waiting. When Simon, a young man of twenty-five, falls in love with her and invites her to a concert of Brahms, she hesitates between security and a new chance. Françoise Sagan describes the ebb of passion, the pain of aging and the choice between habit and risk in short, sharp prose.
For readers of French fiction who like brief psychological studies of love. It is elegant and melancholy, and can be read in an afternoon.
Inward-looking and thought-provoking; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Story Seeker. Which reader are you?
