*This book was given to me by the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review – all opinions are my own.*
Having studied Kristeva during my Masters, I was really intrigued by this book. As myself a feminist and interested in semantics, words, language and meaning, this was a fascinating read. I have trouble reconciliating ideas of feminism and marriage and love. But this book, consisting of interviews and essays with both Kristeva and Sollers managed to convey their beliefs and ideas regarding their marriage, love, being a couple, identity, etc. It was difficult to understand at times due to the heavy contrived language of psychoanalysis and philosophy. But it is a short read and is worth it.
