Upasana’s Reviews > Secrets of the Flesh: A Life of Colette > Status Update

I recommend this book to those who love Colette but also to those many of us, who are Francophiles. This is a confrontation with a slice of Parisian history- from the belle epoch to modernism through a unique feminine lens. Harrowing. Distressing. Wonderful and deeply satisfying. Colette is to be revered but first known deeply. This book manages to negotiate the brutal, survivalist truth with her glorious lushness.
