Bonjour Tristesse: And, a Certain Smile. Franoise Sagan | Fran�oise Sagan

#beautifulwords

This is the #quintessential French ‘coming-of-age‘ novel - hence why I‘ve got 3 copies of it... 1 in French and 2 in English.

(I thought I had 4, but could only find these!)

OriginalCyn620 Sounds good...stacked! 5y

LeahBergen And I have a different edition. 😆 5y

squirrelbrain There are loads of different covers - I just looked online @LeahBergen .... perhaps I should start collecting them all! 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Can you take a picture of your Outsiders book and send it to me?? A good pic!! 😉 5y

OriginalCyn620 I‘ll try my best, Misty! @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620 I have faith in you!! 5y

revenge4porgy I tried reading it about 2 years ago. Unfortunately I felt like I had to “work too hard” to understand the plot. I bailed. One of the few times in my life that I‘ve never read a book all the way through. 5y

EadieB @OriginalCyn620 Are you traveling to the UK? 5y

EadieB @OriginalCyn620 I had to cancel my trip to England/Scotland for this August. Not nice! 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB A real Shame. We are hoping to go to Scotland in two weeks. Should open up for tourists on 15. Scotland currently got lowest rates @OriginalCyn620 5y

Andrew65 Think we‘ve come across a fair few English terms in the books we‘ve read. 5y

OriginalCyn620 That‘s a bummer @EadieB! I hope your trip works out @Andrew65! 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 And you‘ve learned quite a lot about American English and states with your travel the world challenge. (edited) 5y

EadieB @OriginalCyn620 Quite disappointing! 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB Very true! 5y

Laughterhp Ah, I want to read this book. I feel like I should know Brit language. 5y
