Based on a real-life love triangle and later made into Francois Truffaut's famous New Wave film, Henri-Pierre Roche's Jules et Jim is a paean to youth set in free-spirited Paris before the First World War.
Jules and Jim live a carefree, bohemian existence: they write in cafes, travel when the mood takes them, and share the women they love without jealousy.
Like Lucie, flawless, an abbess, and Odile, impulsive, mischievous, almost feral.
But it is Kate - with a smile the two friends have deter.
