Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter
by Simone de Beauvoir
emotional
inspiring
slow-paced
When the book started I fell in love with it, as a biography the way she wrote about her relationships, emotions, and thoughts resonated with me. As the book developed these descriptions felt more superficial to me, and I’m not sure if that’s Simone expressing that’s she’s become an adult whose childhood is now something fantastical, or whether she’s using her romanticisation of childhood to further her ego.
