“Rachel Careau’s meticulous and agile translation of this pair of novels [
Chéri and its sequel,
The End of Chéri] brings to Anglophone readers some of Colette’s finest writing, rich in the sensuality for which she is widely known — but also in the sharpness of her social observations, so ahead of her time that they come across as radical even by contemporary standards,” writes Tash Aw in the
New York Times Book Review.
