Denne likte jeg veldig godt!!! Tre noveller, hver novelle fra perspektivet til en eldre kvinne. Gjennomgående er kvinnenes møte med alderdommen, ensomhet og relasjoner som har endret seg. De ser tilbake på livet de har levd, med glede, lengsel, forvirring og bitterhet. En bok med både eksistensialistiske og feministiske tema. Kvinnene er komplekse (woho!), og jeg både sympatiserer med og blir utslitt av dem. Nydelig språk
4.5 - Digestible introduction to existentialism, but more so, a commentary on being a woman under societal influence & a pretty cyclical (?) perspective on motherhood, familial life and the value we hold in these ideologies. definitely made me think deeper about our natural tendencies to cast judgment on the priorities of others.

French middle class pain
reading stories about women more miserable than me as a break from my own despair
Loved the first story but the second was so frustrating I took a 10 month break.

it’s a difficult book to read for sure. de Beauvoir puts all the insecurities forward, naked, and unadorned. what a set of tragic stories. i felt destroyed reading the last story.
