The lost novel from the author of The Second Sex When Andrée joins
her school, Sylvie is immediately fascinated. Andrée is small for
her age, but walks with the confidence of an adult. The girls
become close. They talk for hours about equality, justice, war and
religion; they lose respect for their teachers; they build a world
of their own. But as the girls grow into young women, the pressures
of society mount, threatening everything. This novel was never
published in Simone de Beauvoir's lifetime. It tells the story of
the real-life friendship that shaped one of the most important
thinkers and feminists of the twentieth century. 'Slim, elegant,
achingly tragic and unaffectedly lovely in its evocation of the
closeness between girls - and the pressures that sunder them'
