Chéri and The End of Chéri (New York Review Books… by Colette
I only read Cheri. It is the story of a woman and her younger paramour. She is approaching middle age and must relinquish her lover to his marriage. It is likely the last such relationship she will have, given her age. Separation is very painful for each of them. This is a very rich depiction of middle-age desire and its complications. I will probably return to the End of Cheri at a later date.
