Tete-a-Tete by Hazel Rowley
Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre - those passionate, free-thinking Existentialist philosopher-writers - had a committed but notoriously open union that generated no end of controversy. Theirs is a great story - and a great story is precisely what they most wanted their lives to be.
An elegant, concise, gossipy account.. heartbreaking and compelling * Financial Times *
Refreshingly unpretentious. It may be the book that Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir wished to be written about their shared life * Sunday Times *
Rowley tells [the story] with compelling vigour... What is wonderful about Rowley's book, aside from its readability, is that she catches the intellectual excitement as well, the intimacy of thought -- Brian Morton * Sunday Herald *
[Rowley] manages to recapture the charm and the brilliance of the relationship in its early stages, which makes her story all the more poignant and depressing * Scotsman *
Marvellous ... A born storyteller -- Serena Davies * Telegraph *
