Gertrude and Alice

Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas first met in Paris in 1907. From that day on they were together until Gertrude's death in 1946. They never slept under different roofs, or traveled without each other, or entertained separately. As a couple, they were central to the cultural life of Paris for four decades. Using letters, memoirs and published writings, Diana Souhami perfectly reconstructs one of the most solid marriages of the century.
