During the last years of WWII, Violette Leduc lives with Maurice Sachs, who doesn't love her but who does encourage her to write.

De Beauvoir rewards Violette's trust by reading and commenting on the book and by introducing her to contemporary intellectual icons Jean-Paul Sartre, Jean Genet and Albert Camus.
