Description:
'Late into the night we talked of love, of its complications. In my father's eyes they were imaginary . . . This conception of rapid, violent and passing love affairs appealed to my imagination. I was not at the age when fidelity is attractive. I knew very little about love.'
The French Riviera- home to the Beautiful People. And none are more beautiful than CĂ©cile, a precocious seventeen-year-old, and her father Raymond, a vivacious libertine. Charming, decadent and irresponsible, the golden-skinned duo are dedicated to a life of free love, fast cars and hedonistic pleasures. But then, one long, hot summer Raymond decides to marry, and CĂ©cile and her lover Cyril feel compelled to take a hand in his amours, with tragic consequences.
Bonjour Tristesse scandalized 1950s France with its portrayal of teenager terrible CĂ©cile, a heroine who rejects conventional notions of love, marriage and responsibility to choose her own sexual freedom.
'The novel that paved the way for the permissive society . . . one of the literary sensations of the century' Daily Telegraph
