## Description

‘Fine teeth, my girl. With teeth like that I’d have gobbled up Paris and the rest of the world.' Gigi, a teenage girl in fin-de-siècle Paris, is being groomed by her family to become a high-class courtesan, just like her aunt and grandmother before her. But despite their best efforts, their timid protégée may have other ideas for her future... Colette's famous novella is a sly and delicate depiction of exploitation and resistance, and is paired here with the wonderful short novel ‘The Cat’.
