Decades later, this short novel surfaced: an unfinished manuscript that wittily dissects the romantic lives of its bourgeois characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe glamorous Marie-Laure never expected her wealthy older husband to survive a devastating car accident that left him in a fragile mental and physical condition. But three years later, Ludovic Cresson returns home to the family estate and finds himself in the throes of a tumultuous marriage. Overseeing this tense dynamic is Henri, the patriarch, who wants to see his son recover but detests various members of his own family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Marie-Laure's mother visits the estate, the family equilibrium falters spectacularly. As Ludovic's virility returns, he cannot resist the charms of his mother-in-law-and neither can his father. The story ends abruptly, but it offers a vivid, if open ended, look into some of Sagan's final undiscovered characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstone's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44197337563373,"sku":"9781542025874","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9781542025874.jpg?v=1691159785","url":"https:\/\/steyningbookshop.info\/products\/9781542025874","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
