Description:
Edmund White was forty-three years old when he moved to Paris in 1983. He spoke no French and knew just two people in the entire city, but soon discovered the anxieties and pleasures of mastering a new culture. White fell passionately in love with Paris, its beauty in the half-light and eternal mists; its serenity compared with the New York he had known.


Intoxicated and intellectually stimulated by its culture, he became the definitive biographer of Jean Genet, wrote lives of Marcel Proust and Arthur Rimbaud. Frequent trips across the Channel to literary parties in London begot friendships with Julian Barnes, Alan Hollinghurst, Martin Amis and many others. When he left, fifteen years later, to return to the US, he was fluent enough to broadcast on French radio and TV, and as a journalist had made the acquaintance of everyone from Yves St Laurent to Catherine Deneuve to Michel Foucault. He'd also developed a close friendship with an older woman, Marie-Claude, through whom he'd come to a deeper understanding of French life.

Inside a Pearl vividly recalls those fertile years, and offers a brilliant examination of a city and a culture eternally imbued with an aura of enchantment.

Good value, just like the name brand - only drawback is they don’t come with pumps

Love

Love the natural oatmeal ingredients and scent! Has been applied to face as well as legs and seems to moisturize great! Is very soft after rubbing in and lasts a long time! Great value!

overall an ok product
Size: 18 Ounce (Pack of 1)
So far, it’s an okay product. It says unscented, but I can clearly smell a subtle light scent. Trust me, I have sensitive smell and skin, and I’ve tried many unscented lotions, but this one has, as I said, a subtle light smell. Overall, though, it is a good product. I’ve just started using it, so I’m hoping it works for me regardless of the subtle scent, which I hope can change because it’s for a good price.

Very moisturizing
Size: 18 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is just like the Aveno lotion I used to buy. It feels so soft and hydrating, I do t have to constantly reapply because the moisture lasts a very long time, the scent is light. Long lasting moisturizer. I even used it to refill my current aveno bottle after it ran out to see if my family could tell the difference and they did not. Will be buying again.

Good mid range lotion
Good stuff for the size & price. A good mid range lotion that helps with the itchy skin I get from extra hot showers & aging skin. The best part is that it’s unscented!
