A Hay Festival and The Poole VOTE 100 BOOKS for Women Selection
'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 Cecile, 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 Cecile 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 Cecile, a
heroine who rejects conventional notions of love, marriage and
responsibility to choose her own sexual freedom.
