Open LibraryAbout this book
Night after night through the winter, in a club called The Underground, Genevieve and her friends live out their loves and their tragedies, apart from the day-to-day life of the city. Genevieve is a sculptor. Her idealistic love for a doctor cannot be returned but then she meets a new lover to whom she is able to give a new optimism and will to live. Genevieve, her lover, and her friends emerge from the dark winter into the spring sunshine. This novel, a best seller in its French edition, is rich in character and emotion. The quiet melancholy of Genevieve's story is set against the lively, racy humor of her friends. The book has a vitality and optimism that will delight admirers of Marie-Claire Blais and bring her a wide new audience.--Adapted from back cover.
