I'm currently reading "Five love affairs and a friendship' about Nancy Cunard's life in Paris.
I've always been facinated by her ( and similar iconic women of her era, MarchesaCasati, Josephine Baker, Colette etc) and I'm finding this book enjoyable because it gives an insight into her life in segments based around her relationships at that time.
Prior to this I read a beautiful book ' The Elegance of the Hedgehog' by Muriel Barbery' It was a book that really touched me.
I believe its been made into movie though I've yet to see the film (which I think is in French).
I love reading and go through phases of reading specific genres.
