A review by girljames
She Came to Stay by Simone de Beauvoir
2.0
Perhaps it was the translation I read (Moyse & Senhouse, 1949) but I found this story often incomprehensible. For a novel about (I think?) sexual jealousy, it was frustratingly unclear on who was actually banging whom.
"We discovered our love. We came to tell it to you as a beautiful story that happened between us."
Right, but what actually happened?
Passionate sentences like this cloud the meaning of any solid plot points. Or maybe it's just that the ratio of sentences to plot points is way off base.
