I'm glad Colette got a mention. I've just started the Judith Thurman biography. I remember being caught reading Claudine at School under the desk in some boring lesson (can't remember which) at my convent school, and thinking I was going to be in big trouble. Mysteriously, after I'd obeyed instructions and put it away, it was never mentioned again. Only when I returned years later as a teacher was I told that everyone was far too embarrassed by the lesbian content to run the risk of talking about it.
How many of these have you read? Did any of your favourites make it to my list?
I love “I capture the castle”. Going to have to read Gigi after your review. I can’t wait for the 1950s.

I’m surprised not to have read more of these already, I have a list to look forward to now and they sound exactly my types of book
