The essence of the book is an ongoing dialog between the author and Francoise Gilot. For those of you who enjoyed Tuesdayrsquo;s with Morrie by Mitch Alboom. yoursquo;ll appreciate the style of this book. which serves to tease out some wonderful philosophy and spiritual (not religious) lessons. Itrsquo;s definitely a book that ldquo;seekersrdquo; will appreciate.Most definitely not about Picasso. or Gilot and Picasso. Although Picasso fans will appreciate several anecdotes about him. which appear throughout the book. The book also includes author Malte Herwigrsquo;s interview with one of his muses ndash; Sylvette David. who now goes by the name of Lydia Corbett ndash; and some passages from Gilotrsquo;s own reflections on her time with Picasso.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great book about an intriguing womanBy CustomerGreat book about an intriguing woman. It moves beyond a straightforward biographical account to get deep into Gilotrsquo;s unique life philosophy. She has her own brand of thought-provoking feminism that challenges both women and men alike. In many ways this book is also a dialogue between generations. between author and artist and between our own younger and older selves. For many. the defiant NO of youth might become more difficult to utter with age. But for Gilot? Hardly.
