Fine research and clear writing

I've read most of the Colette biographies. (Five have appeared in the past twenty years). This one is filled with new information about Colette's African ancestors and her social philosophy. This biography will remain authoritative long after others have faded, because it is narrated in a clear, chronological way that avoids dated (pop) psychology. Rather than presenting a reporter's collage of what others have written, Francis and Gontier have created a fresh, original work that you will savor and admire.
