Reviews

[Heidi Burkhart · Rating 4 out of 5]

A remarkable book about Beauvoir. However, I audiobooked this title, and in some sections readers with very strong French accents read quotes in English. I believe that the accents were purposely strong in an attempt to make the experience more authentic. It meant lots of rewinding for me. Beauvoir was a remarkable, original woman who I think might be overlooked nowadays.
