Bonjour Tristesse — Françoise Sagan (1954)

One morning my father decided that we were going to spend the evening in Cannes, gaming and dancing.
- Role: turning point
- In the book: Raymond takes the household to Cannes to gamble and dance. Cécile loses sight of him and Anne in the casino and finds them in his car; she goes back to the weeping Elsa.
- Why it matters: The casino night is where Raymond and Anne become a couple, which sets off the marriage plan and Cécile’s scheme. The text names only ‘Cannes’ and ‘the casino’.
