Sylish, shimmering and amoral, Sagan's tale of adolescence and
betrayal on the French Riviera was her masterpiece, published when she
was just eighteen. However, this frank and explicit novella was
considered too daring for 1950s Britain, and sexual scenes were removed
for the English publication. Now this fresh and accurate new translation
presents the uncensored text in full for the first time. Bonjour Tristesse
tells the story of Cécile, who leads a carefree life with her widowed
father and his young mistresses until, one hot summer on the Riviera, he
decides to remarry - with devastating consequences. In A Certain Smile,
which is also included in this volume, Dominique, a young woman bored
with her lover, begins an encounter with an older man that unfolds in
unexpected and troubling ways.
