{"product_id":"gigi-julie-de-carneilha-and-chance-acquaintances-three-short-novels","title":"Gigi, Julie de Carneilha, and Chance Acquaintances: Three Short Novels","description":"Two volumes of Colette's most beloved works, with a new Introduction by Judith Thurman.\n\nPerhaps Colette's best-known work, Gigi is the story of a young girl being raised in a household more concerned with success and money than with the desires of the heart. But Gigi is uninterested in the dishonest society life she observes all around her and remains exasperatingly Gigi. The tale of Gigi's success in spite of her anxious family is Colette at her liveliest and most entertaining. Written during the same period as Gigi, Julie de Carneilhan, based on Colette's last years with her second husband, focuses on a contest of wills between Julie, an elegant woman of forty, and her ex-husband. Chance Acquaintances, a novella, involves an invalid wife, her philandering husband, and a music-hall dancer whose odd meeting at a French spa affects and indelibly marks each one of their lives.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0374527857\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0374527857.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Colette|Fermor, Patrick Leigh|Thurman, Judith|Senhouse, Roger\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
