Based on a real-life love triangle and later made into François Truffaut's
famous New Wave film, Henri-Pierre Roché's Jules et Jim is a paean to youth set
in free-spirited Paris before the First World War.
Jules and Jim live a carefree, bohemian existence: they write in cafés, travel
when the mood takes them, and share the women they love without jealousy. Like
Lucie, flawless, an abbess, and Odile, impulsive, mischievous, almost feral. But
it is Kate - with a smile the two friends have determined to follow always, but
capricious enough to jump in the Seine from spite - who steals their hearts most
thoroughly. Henri-Pierre Roché was in his mid-seventies when he wrote this, his
autobiographical debut novel. The inspiration for the legendary film directed by
François Truffaut, it captures perfectly with excitement and great humour the
tenderness of three people in love with each other and with life.
