Beautiful Riddle
The Strange Case of Suzy Parker
About The Author
Bérénice de la Salle grew up in the Pacific
Palisades California during the decades of the Fifties and Sixties. She
graduated from Westlake School for Girls in 1969, and then studied art at
Briarcliff College for Women in New York. In 1971, she moved to Paris where
she became a stock broker for Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith. She met Pierre within weeks of her arrival, fell in love, and remained by his side until the end of his life in November of 2011. At the time they met, she was nineteen and he, forty-six. They married in 1976 and had one child together, a daughter, Devon, who resides in Malibu.
Beautiful Riddle was written as,
slowly, Pierre recounted to
Bérénice the events of the decade he had spent with Suzy.
"It was like pulling teeth," she says. "Getting Pitou to open
his heart was a painful, if cathartic, experience. Having watched him as he
spoke, I feel certain that this is the true story of what happened to them....
at least, to the extent of Robert Evan's definition of 'the truth.' Bob once
said: 'There are three sides to every story: my side, your side and the
truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently.' I
thought of that as I wrote."
