sauris 's review for:
A Certain Smile
by Françoise Sagan
4.5/5
had a lot of fun reading this and bonjour tristesse. very much like cécile in bonjour tristesse, dominique sees through everything and everyone (including herself) with devastating clarity while still being wonderfully reckless with her desires. both books capture the dizzy sweltering french summer and had me yearning for the sea, cigarettes by the mediterranean, languid afternoons, endless glasses of wine, and the ennui that makes everything feel both meaningless and desperately important. i love how the author writes about fleeting emotions with such fierce intensity while being completely aware of their own fickleness, their self-absorption. can't wait to read these again
