About “She Came to Stay”
She Came to Stay (1943), a novel by Simone de Beauvoir, is set in Paris on the eve of World War II and explores the changes wrought in the soul of a woman and a city soon to fall. Françoise considers her relationship with Pierre an open one, but falls prey to jealousy when the gamine Xavière catches his attention and pries her way between them, until the only way out of the triangle is destruction. It is based on the author's actual relationships with Jean-Paul Sartre and Bianca Bienenfeld.
