  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

the way Colette writes maternal figures brings warmth to my heart, especially in Gigi where it felt like I was listening to my own mother, aunt, and grandmother talk. The little details and snippets of description of furniture, clothing, jewelry, spin a wonderful picture, I enjoyed The Cat as well, Alain’s ambling thoughts amusing and interesting to read throughout.
