Sagan, Paris 1954 by Anne Berest

5.0

I have just devoured this book. It has flaws, the main one being that the author insists on drawing parallels between herself and Sagan, which means that the book becomes as much about her as it is about Sagan. However, I still thought it was a great read. I was fascinated by all the details of life in Paris in 1954. Can it be that in my lifetime there were still knife grinders on the street? I loved Sagan's attitude towards life, lving it to the full, in anticipation of the feminism still to come.

Maybe this is a book for older readers. I am not sure. But for me it was a relief to read something so well written and endlessly fascinating.
