Memoirs of a dutiful daughter - Simone de Beauvoir

pages: 365  published: 1958

Simone de Beauvoir's partial autobiography, focusing on her childhood, teenage years and young adult life. 

Simone can write, don't get me wrong. It is beautiful writing. But I'm afraid it's a little lost on me. It's too intense for leisure reading. I think I would have appreciated this book more if I had read only selected passages, and with some text analysis guidance from someone who knows their stuff! Also, I get confused when biographies are not in chronological order...
