5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful and Sad Tale of Unsuited Lovers., November 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Aimez-vous Brahms-- (Mass Market Paperback)

A beautiful story of the futility of loving an unsuitable partner, and the pressures that society places on a relationship. The heroine is torn between a stable yet unfullfilling relationship and a passionate but unconventional relationship.

The inevitability of the outcome makes the tender moments enjoyed by the couple all the more precious.

A thoroughly enjoyable read which prompts the question of "How much of an individual dare we be?".

5.0 out of 5 stars The beauty of Sagan's literature, March 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Aimez-vous Brahms-- (Mass Market Paperback)

The light and sorrow of Francoise Sagan literature makes its own very special world.

Extremely sophisticated and at the same time much comprehensive it gives you a chance to elaborate your own steps, conclusions within the web of the main characters relationship.

It is all about love and people, their choices and consequiences, their desires and real acceptances, their abilities to go on... If you are still a romantic soul despite the reality of life and believe in a very strong, very emotional and passionate feelings and most important believe in people who dare to be outlaws of the society in expressing those feelings, you will be an eternal admirer of Madame Sagan's beautiful prose.

I would also strongly reccomend to read other books by Madame Sagan.

This review is from: Aimez Vous Brahms? (French Edition) (Paperback)

I bought this book assuming it was in French, being that in the title it says (French Edition), but it was not the case. Other than that the content and product was a good value.
