Book Description
Lawyers are real people but not nearly as real as circus performers. This is the story of a young lawyer, a beautiful circus performer and a murder. Typical fiction formulas are thrown out the mobile home window and the reader is taken through the hell of one lawyer's life. You meet circus folk, ventriloquist dummies, waitresses at adult bookstores, dirty old men who watch the fishing channel at boarding houses, and jurors. Accurate, honest and fictional. This is the book you'll suggest to others but deny reading.

The stories that inspired the film Colette, directed by Wash Westmoreland and starring Keira Knightley. Colette, prodded by her first husband, Willy, began her writing career with Claudine at School, which catapulted the young author into instant, sensational success. Among the most autobiographical of Colette's works, these four novels are dominated by the child-woman Claudine, whose strength, humor, and zest for living make her seem almost a symbol for the life force. Janet Flanner described these books as "amazing writing on the almost girlish search for the absolute of happiness in physical love . . . recorded by a literary brain always wide awake on the pillow."
