Francoise Sagan was called Mademoiselle Chanel from literature. Starting with the very first novel "Hello, sadness!"(1954), which made a lot of noise, her literary career was developing brilliantly, she created book after book with amazing ease, they were translated into different languages and they were scattered around the world by millions of copies. In the novel "Bruises on the soul" (1972), as in many novels of the writer, it is about love, fragile, indecisive, fleeting. True to herself, Sagan leads her characters into a maze of complicated relationships: strange people circle around Sebastian and Eleanor, trying to penetrate the secrets of her brother and sister. And those who are refined, restrained, ironic, laughingly slip away, because they are treacherous, that is — in the words of the poet — "true to themselves"... Francoise Sagan, who often avoided the annoying obligations of life, creating this double self-portrait, excitedly polemics with her fans and critics, not forgetting to look at what will end the Odyssey of her characters.
