A Parisian looks back over his life in a string of intimate, teasing sketches: a first supper party whose heroine’s name he can no longer recall, Lent souvenirs, an embassy ball, fireside gossip between Madame and her friend, and at last the small tyrant who turns a couple into a family. Gallant, sentimental and wry by turns.
A Second Empire favourite that still charms anyone who has fallen in love, married, or rocked a cradle. Download the free EPUB.
