Fini.
I loved this glimpse into the mind of a teenage girl born in 1953. "Instead of leaving for Chile with a bunch of gangsters, one stays in Paris and writes a novel. That seems to me the great adventure." (from The Paris Review Interview with Françoise Sagan in August 1956).
She is fascinatingggg to me!!!

"She gently stroked my hair and neck... My one wish was to give up all my plans and put myself entirely into her hands for the rest of my life" (79).
"She stroked my cheek... Sometimes when I am groping for a match, I find myself thinking of that strange moment when my hands no longer seemed to belong to me, and again I recall the intensity of Anne's look, and the emptiness around me—the vast emptiness" (86).
