Simone de Beauvoir
Mémoires d'une jeune Fille rangée (Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter)
Category: Biography | Published: 1958 | Review Added: 23-02-2013
(Qualifier: Ages since I read this.)
Another book I read as a student, this is the first volume of de Beauvoir's autobiography. It is a readable, straightforward and honest-seeming book that evokes fairly vividly the writer's early life and education, and includes an account of her early relationship with Jean-Paul Sartre. Not a classic, but good enough of its kind.
