Chéri by Colette (320 pages)

Chéri, together with The Last of Chéri, is a classic story of a love affair between a very young man and a charming
older woman. The amour between Fred Peloux, the beautiful gigolo known as Chéri, and the courtesan Léa de
Lonval tenderly depicts the devotion that stems from desire, and is an honest account of the most human
preoccupations of youth and middle age. With compassionate insight Colette paints a full-length double portrait
using an impressionistic style all her own.
