This is Simone de Beauvoir's gripping version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaurence lives what appears to be an ideal existence. Her life features all the trappings of 1960s Parisian bourgeoisie: money, a handsome husband, two daughters and a lover. She also has a successful career as an advertising copywriter, though her mind unbidden writes copy whilst she's at home, and dreams of domesticity in the office.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut Laurence is a woman whose happiness was relegated long ago by the expectation of perfection. Relentlessly torn by the competing needs of her family, it is only when her 10-year-old daughter, Catherine, starts to vocalise her despair about the unfairness of the world that Laurence resists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTRANSLATED BY LAUREN ELKIN\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55202925281653,"sku":"9781784879907","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781784879907.jpg?v=1743070582","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781784879907","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
