Product Description
At thirty-nine years old, Paule is a divorced interior designer. Roger, her lover, who is busy with important business, makes distant visits to her, which she awaits with a certain indolence. She is committed to this relationship, but also wishes to preserve her independence and freedom.
At a turning point in her life, and ultimately dissatisfied, she meets Simon, the son of Mrs. Van Der Besh, a wealthy American customer. At 25 years of age, he is handsome, nonchalant, and childish. He falls passionately in love with Paule and she, though touched by his attentions, keeps her distance until the day he invites her to a Brahms concert given at the Salle Pleyel. Believing that she saw in him a being sensitive to music, she gives in and, for several weeks, accepts the passion that the young man offers her.
Originally 1959.
