Colette

"La Femme Cachée est un recueil de 22 nouvelles très brv̈es qui suggr̈ent des tḧmes à l'imagination. Elles sont inspirées par de petits événements au retentissement imprévisible et capable de modifier le cours de la vie." --

Included in the entire "Gigi", worldly, witty, and wise. Excerpts are from "The Last of Cheri", a classic novel of an aging courtesan and her young ex-lover, and recollections of childhood and of life among music-hall artistes, portraits of people and deeply personal evocations of nature.

Disillusioned by earlier loves, dancer Renee Nere resists emotional entanglements until her love for Jean overcomes her desire for freedom.
