About this title: De Beauvoir's 1954 novel, winner of the Goncourt Prize, examines the postwar lives of a group of French intellectuals who were members of the resistance during the Second World War. Although de Beauvoir denied this, the novel seems rather obviously to be a roman à clef featuring herself, as well as Sartre, Camus, and others.

"i both love and find depressing the fact that this is so honest and true about the way life really works. a real antidote to miss pettigrew... i read it to follow through on my resolve to read more french and russian literature. it's also a really interesting look at the hope for change that comes after war and is then quashed by politics."
