January biography

January's biography is Kiki de Montparnasse by Catel and Bocquet. This is a graphic novel style book translated from the French.

The book tells the true story of the very full life of Kiki, an artist's model, muse, dancer and free spirit in Paris.

Kiki comes across as a great character, feisty, bawdy, independent and creative. Also a great insight into the artists and art movements in 1920s Paris.

I thought of a biography of a woman for you! Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser.
Read it years ago, but remember loving it.
