A Convidada by Simone de Beauvoir
Narrated by a woman who shares her life with an intellectual partner, the novel charts the arrival of a young, enigmatic woman into their household and the way this love triangle unravels intimacy into rivalry, manipulation and jealousy; set among a circle of politically aware friends in the years before the war, it probes existential questions of freedom, possession and identity as personal experiments in love turn psychologically destructive and lay bare the characters’ insecurities and moral compromises.
