Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A fascinating insight into the intense 50 year love affair between Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre. Carole Seymour-Jones (shortlisted, 2004 Samuel Johnson prize) gives a compelling account of the couple's dark collusions and betrayals in a biography that is: 'as page-turning as it is scholarly' "The Guardian".

Publisher's description:

Presents the story of how two brilliant free-thinkers - and rivals - came to share a relationship that was to last over fifty years. This title helps to discover how the strikingly beautiful and gifted young Simone came to fall in love with the squinting, arrogant, hard-drinking Jean-Paul.
