Hello Sorrow
About This Novel
I've never known sadness, but now there's something wrapped around me like silk, separating me from everyone else in an annoying yet pleasant way. This is a novel by Sagan that is quite autobiographical. It tells the story of a neurotic and rebellious girl's growth story in adolescence. Seventeen-year-old Cecil is cute, narcissistic, and the epitome of unbridled amoral behavior. Freed from the constraints of boarding school, she spent a carefree two-month summer vacation with her new mistress in a beautiful villa outside Paris with her father, a handsome, promising young widower with wandering eyes. Cecile cherishes the free-spirited time she shared with her father while plotting her own erotic adventure with a law student. However, the arrival of her late mother's best friend intrudes into a young girl's world of joy. When a relationship begins to develop between the adults, Cecile and her lover initiate a plan to separate them... With unexpected tragedy.
