Summary

The book uses humor and wit to explore the relationships, sexual and social, among women in the expatriate and artistic community of Paris. It is known for its unique blend of parody, high comedy, and an insider's perspective on the lives of women loving women, and it's celebrated for its playful, complex use of language and its daring in addressing lesbian themes at a time when such topics were often taboo.
