Description
Gertrude Stein and her companion Alice B. Toklas lived together for 40 years in a village in Vichy France, surviving two world wars and navigating a complex private life.
Janet Malcolm's biography explores the truth behind their extraordinary relationship, delving into the instability of human knowledge and the tensions that simmered beneath the surface of their seemingly charmed existence.
The result is a portrait of Stein and Toklas that is both nuanced and charged, revealing the private war that often flared between them and shedding new light on the legendary modernist's life and work.
