Review
"From the oldest story in the world, Sagan produces a 'big' novel full of irony and tenderness. It may be her best book." --

Book Description
Beatrice Valmont, beautiful star of stage and screen, rekindles a passionate affair with the gauche young man whose heart she had broken five years earlier. Now a successful playwright, Edouard has undeniable power over the aging actress. Beatrice is drawn to his naivety and ardour--behaviours that once repelled her--while Edouard wants a second chance. Sagan's brutally honest study of bedroom politics counterpoises the lovers' need to play-act with their desire to remain faithful.
