"A Certain Smile"
is a 1955 French short novel
by Françoise Sagan
A romance
between a 20-year-old girl & a middle-aged man
that, obviously, fails in the end
The novel ends up in girl's monologue;
"........Once more, I knew it, I was alone. I wanted to repeat that word to myself; alone, alone.
But what of it? I was a woman, and I had loved a man. It was a simple story; there was nothing to make a fuss about."
Such a nonchalant
Such a spring-breeze-like
Hence, such a healthy sentiment
"I was a woman, and I had loved a man. It was a simple story; there was nothing to make a fuss about."
How many men & women can reach this organic, natural, humanly realisation after a breakup?
