The Beauties and Furies

Summary
Par une brumeuse matinée de 1934, Elvira Western quitte son confort londonien et son mari pour rejoindre à Paris son jeune amant, Oliver Fenton, un étudiant anglais exalté. Mais, rapidement, l’escapade se transforme en journées languides dans les cafés de Saint-Germain-des-Prés en compagnie de journalistes débauchés, de bourgeois extravagants et d’une danseuse de cabaret désargentée.De flûtes de champagne en apéritifs, de déconvenues amoureuses en rencontres nocturnes surréelles, Elvira doute de son choix, jusqu’à regretter sa vie avec Paul, son époux, qui tente de la reconquérir.Ce drame romantique avant-gardiste dépeint, dans le Paris fantasmagorique et électrique de l’entre-deux-guerres, les passions paradoxales d’une femme trop intelligente, espiègle et inconstante pour aimer.Traduction de l’anglais (Australie) par Lori Saint-Martin et Paul Gagné.
