A mistress of metaphor and sparking detail, and with more punch than Proust ... Throughout this extraordinary – irreplaceable! – novel, Colette provides many exquisitely timed funny-sad turns ... And no one writes about relationships as perceptively as Colette
Guardian
An enchanting, sincere and beautifully constructed novel
The New York Times
The most subtle of feminist novels ... It tells the story of a soul’s quest for liberation and it asks all of the questions about marriage, love, jealousy, bisexuality, maleness and femaleness which our generation sometimes flatters itself it invented
Erica Jong
She explored her field without exhausting it or repeating herself, varying her approach as she grew older and more experienced…Intense and sensuous, her fiction is full of life and laughter, as she proceeded to tell the story of a woman’s life, from childhood into age
John Self, BBC Culture
