A review by noniesrose
Dame à la Louve by Renée Vivien
dark
reflective
tense
fast-paced
3.5
3.5/5
I would've rated this collection of short stories four stars if it wasn't for the few stories that were difficult for me to read due to the topics and the trauma.
I appreciated most of the stories though, especially the really good quality of the writing. Renée Vivien's native language was English, she learned French and Greek and as French is my native language, I was in admiration of her French!
What Renée Vivien and I have in common (just for fun): being sapphics, hating men, love for languages, finding out sapphic representation in poetry, loving women and literature.
