Description
A poignant and intimate love story unfolds in this story. Lea de Lonval, a courtesan nearing the end of her career, has devoted six years to the education of Cheri, a young man who embodies the excesses of his generation. As an advantageous marriage is arranged for Cheri, Lea must confront the reality of their relationship's demise. Yet neither lover can foresee the depth of their connection or the sacrifices they will be forced to make. This beautifully written novel explores the complexities of love and desire, revealing the intricate web of emotions that binds two people together. First published in 1920, Cheri has been widely praised for its intelligence, mastery, and understanding of the human experience.
