«La femme fardée» is the novel by Françoise Sagan, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (562 pages, in French).
A group of bourgeois people take a cruise on the yacht Narcissus in honour of an opera diva. Among the passengers are Clarisse, who hides her fragility under excessive makeup, her husband Éric, the actress Olga and the seducer Julien. Appearances break down: passions, adulteries and jealousy emerge, and pride clashes with love.
The work was originally published in 1981; this French paperback edition is from 1991.
