'Virginia [Woolf] read at least three of Colette's books, two of autobiography (Mes
Apprentissages, 1934, Sido, 1929), and one of fiction (Duo, 1934), and the two writers sent each
other messages through mutual friends.'

'Pearl's conversation was always full of references to the works of the French novelists of the period, so I proceeded to read books by Balzac, Stendhal, Flaubert, Anatole France and Colette. I had to read the Italian poets in translation. All this was a great joy to me, and, as I have said, a wonderful education.'
