Sébastien and Eléonore are brother and sister, inseparable accomplices, settle in a chance find of a furnished apartment in Paris, perfectly penniless and perfectly available. Almost immediately they have people thronging round them: Nora, an American as wealthy as she is ripe in years, Bruno, a young French film star, Robert, a famous impresario...
For once Sagan's incidental music takes on a cold, clashing personal note. She takes sides with her characters and gives us her opinion of their lives and her own. She tells us how she feels about people who criticise her books, tells us what she herself thinks of her incidental music, and puts herself in the picture as she rarely does elsewhere. She uses the first person to justify her choices but, in a final flourish, gives it back its novelistic status.
Aged nineteen, Françoise Sagan was propelled to glory with Bonjour Tristesse, which was followed by plays and several other novels. All of them successful.
She wrote her own obituary in the Dictionnaire des écrivains, compiled under the direction of Jérôme Garcin: Appeared in 1954 with a slender novel, Bonjour Tristesse, which created a scandal worldwide. Her death, after a life and a body of work that were equally pleasant and botched, was a scandal only for herself.
