Two volumes of Colette's most beloved works, with a new Introduction by Judith Thurman.

Perhaps Colette's best-known work, Gigi is the story of a young girl being raised in a household more concerned with success and money than with the desires of the heart. But Gigi is uninterested in the dishonest society life she observes all around her and remains exasperatingly Gigi. The tale of Gigi's success in spite of her anxious family is Colette at her liveliest and most entertaining. Written during the same period as Gigi, Julie de Carneilhan, based on Colette's last years with her second husband, focuses on a contest of wills between Julie, an elegant woman of forty, and her ex-husband. Chance Acquaintances, a novella, involves an invalid wife, her philandering husband, and a music-hall dancer whose odd meeting at a French spa affects and indelibly marks each one of their lives.

Perfect
Color: Black
The Lamicall Car Headrest Tablet Holder (3-in-1 Extendable) is exactly the adulting hack I didn’t know I needed until now. If you’ve ever tried to hold a tablet for a kid on a long ride and felt your arm turn into jelly, this thing is your escape plan. Setup is painless. It snaps onto the headrest in seconds and stays put like it actually wants to work. No wrestling with screws or an instruction manual written in ancient hieroglyphs. Stability is legit. Once the tablet is locked in, it doesn’t wobble, jiggle, or threaten to fall — even when someone in the backseat is basically auditioning for an earthquake simulation. That peace of mind alone makes this worth it. The 3-in-1 extendable design is slick. Adjust it for different viewing angles and distances so everyone (yes, even the seatmate who insists on leaning sideways) gets a great view. Landscape? Portrait? Gaming? Movie time? Covered. Build quality feels solid and durable, not like something that’ll snap after a few uses. It works with a range of tablet sizes too, so you aren’t limited to one device. Overall, this holder just works exactly how you want it to. Five stars because it’s practical, sturdy, and actually makes life easier — especially when peace in the backseat is on the line.

perfect for road trips
Color: Black
my sister lives 3 hours away, and being that i usually travel by myself with 2 small children, it's sometimes hard to keep them entertained for the trip. my husband bought this for me to keep in my car in case i need it and it has absolutely come in handy a few times. it's super sturdy, it fits perfectly behind my seat without taking up too much space or making my daughter feel cramped. it's challenging to use while driving when it's directly behind you but it does swivel close enough that you're able to do some things on the screen. however it does make it SUPER simple when you're in the passenger seat.

Used for 3 years, buying again!
Color: Black
Bought 2 of these 3 years ago. One of them just broke (a crucial plastic piece snapped so not fixable). But with the low price and the countless road trips we’ve used these on I feel I’ve gotten my moneys worth. Purchasing again. 5 stars.

Works ok. But not for thick cases
Color: Black
Works ok so far. Not good for thick tablet cases. Like foam ones or protective ones for kids.

Simple, easy, great!
Color: Black
10 out of 10 would recommend. We used it in our spring break trip and it was great. Held not only our kids iPads but phones as well. It was easy to install, not too expensive and for us it helped prevent car sickness which hits us all sadly. The fit was nice because it was adjustable, and the fact that the kids didn’t have to hold them for as great! This product was seriously the Best purchase I think I’ve done.
