The Inseparables

“The enigma of female friendship that is as intense as a love affair, but that is not sexually expressed, is always an interesting subject”

Simone de Beauvoir wistfully encapsulates the way in which young girls perceive one another as enigmatic and wondrous. The at once tender and fierce devotion they have for one another, and the pining, delicate infatuation of first loves.

The girlhood Simone experienced alongside her best friend is depicted against a backdrop of religious trauma, classism, conversation, imagery of the French countryside, tragedy, duty, individuality, love, and contradictions of the mind, heart, and soul.

Perfect.
