Críticas

'Bold and accomplished.'--Livres Hebdo
'...a unique and inspiring book, recommended for readers attracted to French novels and novelists, literary memoir, and for anyone who may simply want to see a good example of superlative writing.' --Portland Book Review

'A fascinating account of Françoise Sagan's youth.'--Stylist
'... a clearly carefully researched account that does offer the salient facts, in more engaging and memorable ways than a straightforward factual account likely could.' --The Complete Review

'Berest portrays Sagan as the literary Brigitte Bardot, an author who introduced a generation of women to eroticism and empowered them to take control of their bodies without fearing punishment from God or man.'--The Times
'A portrait of French society in the 1950s, a delightful escapade, a hymn to friendship, a token of pure generosity.' --Le journal du dimanche

Reseña del editor

Before Francoise Sagan the literary icon there was Francoise Queiroz, an eighteen-year-old Parisian girl, who wrote a novel and needed a publisher for it. This intimate narrative charts the months in 1954 leading up to the publication of the legendary Bonjour Tristesse. We encounter Francoise, her family and friends close-up, in a post-war world that is changing radically; and Mlle Queiroz, in her new guise of Francoise Sagan, will be at the heart of that social change. Sagan was always focused on her writing, though at times the fame of her books was to be eclipsed by her wild-child reputation. Yet, as Anne Berest herself testifies, Sagan's fearless approach to life lived on her own terms remains an inspiration even now.
