One woman strives for perfection - it's an old story. This is Simone de Beauvoir's gripping version.

Laurence lives what appears to be an ideal existence. Her life features all the trappings of 1960s Parisian bourgeoisie: money, a handsome husband, two daughters and a lover. She also has a successful career as an advertising copywriter, though her mind unbidden writes copy whilst she's at home, and dreams of domesticity in the office. But Laurence is a woman whose happiness was relegated long ago by the expectation of perfection.

Relentlessly torn by the competing needs of her family, it is only when her 10-year-old daughter, Catherine, starts to vocalise her despair about the unfairness of the world that Laurence resists.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Simone de Beauvoir

Simone de Beauvoir nasceu em Paris, em 1908. Estudou Filosofia na Sorbonne, onde conheceu Sartre, companheiro de toda a vida e com quem viveu uma relação célebre pelos seus padrões de abertura e honestidade. No final da Segunda Guerra Mundial, editou a revista política Les Temps Modernes, fundada por Sartre e Merleau-Ponty, entre outros. Foi ativista no movimento francês de emancipação das mulheres, nos anos de 1970, e serviu de modelo e de influência aos movimentos feministas posteriores. Simone de Beauvoir ganhou o Prémio Goncourt em 1954 com Os Mandarins. Morreu em Paris, em 1986.
