A Hay Festival and The Poole VOTE 100 BOOKS for Women SelectionLate into the night we talked of love, of its complications. In my fathers 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 Ccile, a precocious seventeenyearold, and her father Raymond, a vivacious libertine. Charming, decadent and irresponsible, the goldenskinned 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 Ccile 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 Ccile, a heroine who rejects conventional notions of love, marriage and responsibility to choose her own sexual freedom.
