A review by mollyringle
The Last of Cheri by Colette

3.0

As others have said: not a lot happens (till the very end, at least), but when it's written as beautifully as that, you don't entirely mind. For Cheri I felt some sympathy--his upbringing and influences were fairly terrible, so his messed-up state of mind isn't totally his own fault--but it's hard to see him as a grandly memorable protagonist. So it will be a pleasure to go on to other works of Colette's, wherein we get protags we can get behind more firmly.
