French
Chapter 1: Self-Portrait
" I would like to give the impression of a silent being, where everything happens inside, who deigns to give others only the rare outbursts of his cheerfulness, quite ironic, loving to dress simply, in a white dress, with arms always naked, happy only when, leaving the hotel early in the morning, after a night of dancing, she ran in the damp morning chill, bare legs in espadrilles, blue skirt, beret on her head, biting into an apple. © Fonds Irène Némirovsky/ IMEC
