I could see why this book is seen as seminal but reading it through a contemporary lens I found it hard to not see the figures in the book as character tropes of the period.

This was probably one of the most brilliant books I have ever read. Age; it is the most hauntingly beautiful theme within this novel. From the pearl necklace to the dress--the shade of white, the absence of color symbolizes the idea of youth. This novel certainly wells up emotion as you witness this tragic romance through a jeweled lens.

How many good things had he missed in leading such a pointless life -- a young man with lots of money and little heart! ~ Colette

One of those book you don't know why you liked at all. Colette is marvelous.
