Cheri, together with The Last of Cheri, is a classic story of a love affair between a very young man and a charming older woman. The amour between Fred Peloux, the beautiful gigolo known as Cheri, and the courtesan Lea de Lonval tenderly depicts the devotion that stems from desire, and is an honest account of the most human preoccupations of youth and middle age. With compassionate insight Colette paints a full-length double portrait using an impressionistic style all her own.

"A wonderful subject [treated with] intelligence, mastery, and understanding of the least-admitted secrets of the flesh." ― Andre Gide
