BEAUVOIR SIMONE DE LES BELLES IMAGES

A compelling novel about the requirement to be perfect  without completely losing sight of
yourself - by the greatest feminist of the twentieth-century  Simone de Beauvoir.   Laurence
lives what appears to be an ideal existence. Her life features all the trappings of the 1960s
Parisian bourgeoisie: money  a handsome husband  two daughters and a lover. She also has a
successful career as an advertising copywriter  though her mind unbidden writes copy whilst
she's at home  and dreams of domesticity in the office.  But Laurence is a woman whose
happiness was relegated long ago by the expectation of perfection. Relentlessly torn by the
competing needs of her family  it is only when her 10-year-old daughter  Catherine  starts to
vocalise her despair about the unfairness of the world that Laurence resists.   TRANSLATED BY
LAUREN ELKIN
