Overview
The lost novel from the author of The Second Sex
When Andre joins her school, Sylvie is immediately fascinated. Andre is small for her age, but walks with the confidence of an adult. Secretly Sylvie believes that Andre is a prodigy about whom books will be written. The girls talk for hours about equality, justice, war and religion; they lose respect for their teachers; they build a world of their own. But they can't stay like this forever.
Written in 1954, five years after The Second Sex, the novel was never published in Simone de Beauvoir's lifetime.
