It was such a hot summer, people were getting crazy. Sabine Lachenay had decided to join Rocky on one of the Cyclades islands. Why not accept to be seduced this presumptuous small-time speculator since Rocco, the man she loves, prefers men? What happened next - Loulou and her colorful necklaces, the wall collapsing on the cliff, Olympus in flames - she has forgotten: none of it was her fault. But before then, she remembers herself as a free young woman, a volatile, absent mother, a happy woman with a man who disappeared too early. And before then she was the little girl in that story of a couple separating that Truffaut brought to the screen. What she knows today is that one evening in August her rage went up in smoke and that she, at last, found peace. Lire la notice et vivre ensuite recounts the dreams and disappointments of a woman hungry for happiness and pleasure. Dominique Muller's book is a sharp, humorous depiction of a comedy of love that ends up as tragedy.
