Review:
"A perpetual feast to the reader. Her prose is rich, flawless, intricate, audacious and utterly beautiful" (Raymond Mortimer, Vogue)
"Everything that Colette touched became human" (The Times)
"Her sensual prose style made her one of the great writers of 20th century France" (New York Times Book Review)
"Accessible and elusive; greedy and austere; courageous and timid; subversive and complacent; scorchingly honest and sublimely mendacious; an inspired consoler and an existential pessimist―these are the qualities of the artist and the woman. It is time to rediscover them" (Judith Thurman, biographer of Colette)
