A vivid portrait of Parisian music hall life, this 1910 novel reflects the adventures of the author of "Gigi" as a dancer as well as her struggles balancing respectability and freedom.
Superb story of a love affair between Lea, a still-beautiful 49-year-old ex-courtesan, and Cheri, a handsome but selfish young man 30 years her junior, is widely considered the author's best work.
