One of the best psychological novels by Francoise Sagan. Its main themes - love, self-sacrifice, selfishness - are characteristic of the writer’s work as a whole. The heroine of the novel, Natalie, sacrifices everything for the sake of love, but is her chosen one able to appreciate this impulse?.. After all, lovers live by their own laws. And sometimes they make mistakes, knowing that they will have to pay for them. No one can resist love, and if they try, they doom themselves to severe torment.
