Sinossi
Doveva essere un'estate speciale per la giovane Cécile, quell'anno in Costa Azzurra, in quella splendida villa bianca affacciata sul Mediterraneo, in compagnia del padre e di Elsa, la sua nuova amante. Un'estate davvero indimenticabile, se non fosse stato per l'arrivo di Anne, un'amica della madre di Cécile, morta quindici anni prima. Raffinata, colta, elegante, di una bellezza impenetrabile, la nuova arrivata conquista subito il padre di Cécile che in pochi giorni decide d'interrompere la sua relazione con Elsa e di sposare Anne. L'ammirazione nei suoi confronti non impedisce a Cécile, tuttavia, di vedere in Anne una rivale, una minaccia per la propria libertà, al punto da mettere in scena, grazie alla complicità di Elsa e dell'amico Cyril, un gioco sottile e lucidamente orchestrato per dividere i due amanti. U piano perfetto, ma con esiti del tutto inattesi e ben più drammatici e devastanti di quanto Cécile avesse mai potuto prevedere.

The French seventeen year-old girl narrator is at once astute AND childish. The dolce vita of youth and leisure is intoxicating, to partake in or merely read about, and her bohemian experiences and attitudes give the work a refreshing polish. This is somewhat of the opposite of "Catcher in the Rye"
I enjoyed this very much. I read it when I was a teenager - I remember devouring all the bits about love and sex etc - basically being jealous of Cécile - so much happening to her and she is only 17! And now reading it again, aged 53 - I still love it. The psychology rings true and is in fact quite Leggi tutto
