Secrets of the Flesh A Life of Colette by Judith Thurman made use of documents, candid interviews, and unpublished letters to create a full picture of Colette. The book gives a historical perspective and literary discernment with psychological insight. Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette was a celebrity and one of France's most notorious novelists and personalities. A provincial beauty, she was best known as bride of a famous Parisian and then in 1900 she wrote a story that captivated the Belle Epoque and invented the modern teenage girl. It was the first in a series of wildly popular and critically acclaimed novels that made her the superstar of the century. The biography is highly entertaining and follows Colette from the early years through her marriages, birth of her child, and beyond to the adventures both mild and torrid.
