B&W photographs "The first serious full-scale biography to be written in English" about the French novelist who "wrote of nature as no-one had done in her native tongue before her. She wrote of certain human relationships with a tact and honesty and wisdom which made her readers feel that only she could appreciate their complexities. She was tempestuous but sane tough and vulnerable intensely disliked and profoundly loved. She also earned admiration not only for her work but for her enduring physical courage." Cited as source material are not only her published work but also unpublished correspondence and previously unrecorded recollections of Colette and the book is also "given its unique authority by Colette's two Jouvenel stepsons" the participation of whom has "added a new dimension to our knowledge." .
