About the book

Colette's Chéri is set in the elegant world of Belle Époque Paris and centres on the relationship between Léa de Lonval, a wealthy older courtesan, and Chéri, the much younger son of another courtesan. Their long affair is disrupted when Chéri is expected to make a conventional marriage. The novel explores desire, ageing, independence, jealousy and the emotional costs of a relationship shaped by both affection and social expectation.
