Book Review of Secrets of the Flesh: A Life of Colette

Secrets of the Flesh: A Life of Colette
reviewed on + 15 more book reviews


An excellent telling of the life of the woman who scandalized Europe and America with books like "Gigi", "Cheri" and the Claudines stories. Her life was no less racy that the novels inspired by it, full of lovers of both genders, the acclaim of a stage actress, and finally, a place among the literary greats of France.
