liv: Bookshelf labelled: Caution. Hungry bookworm (bookies)
Author: Sébastien Japrisot

Details: (c) Éditions Denoël 1986; Pub Folio 1988; ISBN 2-07-0380343

Verdict: La passion des femmes is delightful, and both erotic and intellectually appealing.

Reasons for reading it: Japrisot wrote the novel which was made into the film A very long engagement, a book I very much enjoyed when I read it as part of an attempt to keep up my French at university.

How it came into my hands: Montreal is such a wonderful place to shop for francophone books that I would need to go back there even without wanting to see [livejournal.com profile] rysmiel. Yay Montreal!

All in all, one of the most enjoyable books I've read in a good while.

Soundbite

Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
